I had a situation similar to yours. When I had a mix of PATA and SATA, I just could not boot the thing. Played with the BIOS settings, grub entries such as hd(0,0), etc etc. I finally gave up on it and went for lilo which had no issue booting the same system. I'd be happy to go back to grub if I could get it to work. Akemi _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
