That's not the problem. Hope it's not too obvious, but... Did you also actually _run_ lilo ? Is fstab on /dev/md0 edited to reflect the new mountpoints ? Not that it helps you here, but I followed the procedure -albeit not from the same howto[1]- multiple times with many machines. It _should_ work... [1] I used a howto by the name of Boot+root+raid+llilo. Maybe see if there are any obvious differences between the two procedures / howtos...? Maarten
