Good idea. I added the append back in with no difference. The drives still map differently. Since the drives map different letters I will have to modify the append= line to update to the new letters.
Obviously the way it is now (with the new kernel) is correct. For some reason the old kernel had the drives detected some odd way. I feel confident that any new kernels will continue the way it is configured now I just worry that if I want to boot the old kernel I won't get to the swap partition without manually reconfiguring the fstab file. How difficult will it be to either a)remap the old kernel with the new maps or b)is it possible to include a line in fstab to say if you boot with kernel a use this swap map otherwise you this other swap map? thank you for all your help. > On 2001-10-12, Michael Davis wrote: > > >Thank you for asking how the kernel detects my drives. > > > >2.4.3-12 detects the drives differently from 2.4.2-2!!!!
