Yes, you must be tired because you are "top posting". :^) -e2 is either a palo parameter (when invoked from user shell) or --format-as=2 to /etc/palo.conf file. See "palo -?" output. grant Okay. Now I learned something else about parisc-linuxers ... add comments at the bottom. Who knew? So, here's question 1: Why did you say: > Partition Start(MB) End(MB) Id Type > 1 1 31 f0 Palo > 2 32 1008 82 swap > 3 1009 17366 83 ext2 "This is an invalid partition scheme." Is it just that the f0 partition is too small? Can one not have a swap partition this big? and here's question number 2: Why do none of the examples I've seen show --format-as=2 being used in palo.conf and can you please show me a complete example (recommended partition layout for an 18GB hard drive on a machine with 2GB of memory and a palo.conf that goes along with it)? I can't look at palo -? right now because I just blew my partitions away so I can re-partition and try it all one more time. Sorry.
