I should mention that something *did* change. When attempting to use XFS, grub would give me a note about "18 partitions used" (I forget the exact language). This was different than I'd remembered; when I switched back to using reiserfs, grub reports using 19 partitions. So there's something definitely interesting about XFS and booting. As an additional note, if I use the grub boot-time commands to edit root to read, e.g., root=/dev/sda2 or root=/dev/sdb2, I get the same Error 15 error message. It may be that grub is complaining about grub and resiserfs, but I suspect that it has a true complain about the file system and what's on the partitions. -- Moshe Yudkowsky * moshe@pobox.com * www.pobox.com/~moshe "If, after hearing my songs, just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend, it will all have been worthwhile." -- Tom Lehrer
