How does it fail? Do you have a SCSI drive and an IDE? It's possible to reinstall without formatting your drives if there has been some glitch. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer Linux Only Shop.

Just an ide. The laptop boots to txt only and in the process notifies that the reiserfs has failed.

As suggested by Mr. Feldman, run reiserfsck, also check that /boot/initrd exists as that should preload the reiserfs module. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer Linux Only Shop.
