It appears that way. I hesitate to say for sure, I could have missed it when I booted, but like I said, there is nothing in my logs that would indicate that fsck found anything wrong. I did, however forget to mention this error I got the last time I ran lilo(yesterday). Warning: Kernel & BIOS return differing head/sector geometries for device 0x81 Kernel: 62749 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors BIOS: 1023 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors Lilo still finishes and I'm still able to boot into my gentoo and libranet system. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
