Hi Geoff Hope you have had a good Christmas and everyone else on the list
Back to my problem I used fdisk and Linux is now on /dev/hdb9.
OK .. let's try to circumvent sending all of fstab to the list. Somewhere in fstab should be a line something like this /dev/hdbX / ext2 defaults 1 1 The final field may not be identical to mine, - the key field that you are looking for is the second one containing a simple "/". That shows which device is mounted as root. If Rene's analysis was right, it will be the old number of your linux root partition. All you should need to do is to edit that line to show /dev/hdb9 as the device mounted on root. Even the very wonderful vi should allow you to do that.
