OK, attached is some additional information. I have saved /var/log/partman just after entering the partitioning menu in the file "partman", after entering the submenu for (presumably) partition 2 on the ide1 slave disk in "partman-2", after configuring that partition in "partman-3", after undoing the configuration to the apparently wrong partition in "partman-4". I have also saved /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog. Never mind the "mount" diagnostics due to my own bickerings in the shell. The output of uname -a is in "uname.out," the output of package-versions is in "package-versions.out" (suggesting partman version 40 was used), and the contents of the /dev hierarchy as seen by the "find" emulation of the installer shell is in "find-dev.out". Finally, I added output of "lspci" and "fdisk" after booting from Knoppix 3.4. Thanks for your timely response. Martin
