I did some extra sluthing and I noticed thst the /boot partion is the only one I can read! If I do a: ls sda5:/ I get % %% %%% %% %% %%% %%%% %% for about 10 lines ! It would seem that the install is stuffing the FAT or somthing at the end of the install. The other partitions look the same. So... now I'm reinstalling 5.2 and doing an upgrade - I've run 5.2 on this thing before so it will be interesting to see how it goes. BTW - this box is a MUSTANG which is one of the older AS200's - I think it maxs out at 100Mhz. > how did you boot... ? > I had problems with booting the CD, by floppy it was no problem > (boot fd0:vmlinux.gz root=/dev/scd0) my boot line for cd was as follows: boot scd0:/kernels/generic.gz root=/dev/scd0 cheers Tim
