Hi: I have done a clean install of SuSE 9.0. In the very recent past, I have had a SuSE 9.0 install, boot, but fail to mount the home partition. When SuSE diagonise software was run it stated that the home partition was not mountable, and that the partition size did not match the partition table and I needed to delete to partition to recovery the missing space. Could some one tell me if ACPI could have cause such an error (corrupting the partition table/partition size)? The motherboard used was a MSI KT3 Ultra2 I have ACPI turned on. Thanks for your help with this question. Ralph

In a word, NO. Extremely unlikely. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

In the past week I have had several test distros, not be able to mount the root partition on boot up, SuSE was the only one with tools enough to state problem was not able to mount partition and that size did not match partition table only way was to delete partition. So I lost data and ran Hard Disk test suite on disk it came up clean no problems, so I low level formated and ran six cycles of burn in test to check disk and get rid of potental partition table problems. Hope this cleaned up any potential problem. Ralph

Thanks for your help with this question. Interesting. As John mentioned, unlikely. But, before you delete the partition, do some additional tests. Boot the recovery system (from thr SuSE CD). Then manually mount the offending
