The Debian install disks said that I have to use those wierd BSD disk labels, so I regetfully did :<
Anyhow, I now have disks like this: BSD disklabel command (m for help): p 5 partitions: # start end size fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 2 205 204 ext2 b: 206 612 407 swap c: 1 59560 59560 unused 0 0 d: 613 20930 20318 ext2 e: 20930 59560 38631 ext2 Compilied a 2.4.3 kernel and it gurgled along fine, until hda: unknown partition table then right at the end the kernel panics because it cannot find the root partition. I had CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL=y so what doesn't it like? - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
