The partion table for the disk is below. I'll check out the logs, though I think I had looked in them at the time and found nothing informative. Bruce root@exsolent / # fdisk /dev/hdf The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 9729. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hdf: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdf1 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hdf2 14 75 498015 82 Linux swap /dev/hdf3 76 9729 77545755 5 Extended /dev/hdf5 76 1292 9775521 83 Linux /dev/hdf6 1293 2509 9775521 83 Linux /dev/hdf7 2510 3726 9775521 83 Linux /dev/hdf8 3727 6159 19543041 83 Linux /dev/hdf9 6160 9729 28675993+ 83 Linux
