I switched mine to the new PATA drivers and I couldn't figure out what the drive order was. I used LABELS and it has worked ever since. The funny thing is, I have a card to hook a SATA drive up to and it puts it first instead of the drives that are hooked directly to the mobo. I wasn't expecting that and that was why I could not get mine to boot with the PATA drives. Bad thing is, the CD/DVD's I have still use the old IDE drivers so I couldn't even test it by booting that. I have not been able to get grub to see the LABELS yet but I'm going to post fstab so that you have a example that is known to work and not from a guide: /dev/disk/by-label/boot /boot ext2 noatime 1 2 /dev/disk/by-label/root / reiserfs defaults 0 1 /dev/disk/by-label/swap none swap sw 0 0 /dev/disk/by-label/portage /usr/portage ext3 defaults 0 1 /dev/disk/by-label/home /home reiserfs defaults 1 1 /dev/disk/by-label/data /data reiserfs defaults 0 1 Now someone post their grub.conf for us both. I just can't get mine to work with grub at all. I can't even use tab to find the drives in the boot menu. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
