Never had any trouble after i restored my filesystem from backups > and reran lilo (after editing lilo.conf and fstab) I did almost that. Instead of restoring from backups I had the old and the new hard drives mounted at the same time and used cpio. Did you have to tell the kernel where the new swap partition was? Chuck Kaufman
