Hi. Thanks. Yast will only let me choose hda6 as my root. it doesn't even know hda5 exists nor will it let me manuallu enter hda5 to choose it as root. (/) which i find weird because my system boots no problem from hda5 and uses hda6 as it's swap.

using yast to install software and update my system has caused me nothing but grief. i now have a host of problems. well, yast now has no idea what partitions exist on the disk. my / partition is dev/hda5 and my swap is /dev/hda6 yet yast is convinced my swap is dev/hda7 (which doesn't exist) and that my root is /dev/hda6 (which is my swap). You tell YAST what the root partition is, it does not guess this. As for root, if I remember correctly, YAST while installing the distro, will guess the swap partition, but ask for confirmation as to whether if found the correct partition.
For more direct help, better to give the list the exact steps you are following to find your mistake - if it is your mistake.
