What kind of SCSI card do you have? What are the SCSI IDs of the drives and which ID is set for the boot?

Problem has been solved... but is still very strange. I have been running SuSE 7.3 since it came out. Had a /home paritition that was ext3. Every ran fine with 7.3. But there was something wrong with that ext3 /home partition that caused the fsck.ext3 in 8.0 to segfault. Went around in circles before I found the problem because at boot time, the only error message was 'fsck failed' without any information as to which partition had the failure. Even doing an fsck of the /home in 7.3 didn't solve the problem. I had to rsync the /home to my backup of /home2, do a mke2fs on /home and then rsync back. Once I had a 'clean' /home everything worked fine after that. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
