I seem to recall reading that you can have problems with partitations where are not _entirely_ within 1023 cylinders, because the kernel image could happen to be in that part of the partition which is past the 1023 cylinder. But I could be wrong, and/or this could have nothing to do with your particular problem... -- David Pfitzner -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
