Have you tried mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/tmp and let Linux work out the file system type used. I would assume that the /dev/hdb1 would have mapped to /boot The partition you will need to mount would be /dev/hdb2 which will contain the main root (/) partition. mount /dev/hdb2 /mnt/tmp If you are still in trouble you could try using Knoppix to do the same. SuSE 7.0 is well over 2 years old and I'm not sure it supports all of the new journal filesystem types. -- Regards, Graham Smith --------------------------------------------------------- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
