Here's the last 5 lines: [28.856347] ReiserFS: sda3: found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal [31.560835] ReiserFS: sda3: warning: sh-2029: reiserfs read_bitmaps: bitmap bitlock(#14057372) reading failed [31.663418] UDF-fs: No partition found (1) [31.663466] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3) [31.663493] After dd'ing I compared both drives w/fdisk and they were identical except for the device names, of course. I *did* update fstab and grub.conf and ran grub-install w/o error. Don't know why it was looking for a UDF fs. one thing I noticed though, the SATA drive is about 3M smaller than the ATA. __________________________________ Yahoo!
