I had resized the ntfs partition (which worked) but managed to screw up the next one (/boot) to where it was corrupted. Tried fscking, but couldn't fix it. Then tried reinstalling and only formatting /boot, but i still had problems. Looking back, though, i think it may have actually been a video problem. For some reason, i often have to fiddle with video config before i get it to work right. If i ever install again and have problems, i will spend some time comparing the X config file. Anyway, i got to do a new fresh install, and in the end have more space (because i only installed my favorite progs this time) and better partition organization... eric
