First thing I checked. > As your root-filesystem does appear to be mounted, can you give use the result of the "mount" command to see how it identifies the root-filesystem? I have seen harddrive naming schemes change between kernel versions. Eg. hda might end up being hdb or hdc,... (same with sd.....) Alternatively, to avoid this, you could use drive-labels and configure /etc/fstab with these labels rather then the drive-items. Can you also show us the dmesg-output to see if the drives are actually identified? If "udev" is not running correctly, the device-nodes might not be created automatically. -- Joost
