Thanks! Now what about my other question -- how to move a 9.0 installation from RAID5 to IDE? Lothar Hansche very helpfully provided the tested recipe for reinstalling from loop-mounted DVDs. Could I also just dd the current installation over to the new partition? Something along the lines of dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/hda1 Now the problem of course is that /dev/sda2 is far larger (500GB) than /dev/hda1 (10GB). Any way around this? I imagine I can't just use cp or mv as it won't handle the device nodes correctly? Cheers, David Andi Kleen wrote:

Finally, the kernel isn't supporting my flat screen display -- the text is squashed and unreadable. An old CRT works. (VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27))
Remove the vga=... setting in /boot/grub/menu.lst. This will give you a standard 80x25 VGA text mode console.
