I think I would like to see this output: > Partition check: > hda: [PTBL] [1869/255/63] hda1 hda2 hda3 Is it identical under the normal bios? What does the normal BIOS show? Many times this problem occurs with weird hard drive PTBL setups. I assume your hard drive is: hda1 -> /boot hda2 -> / hda3 -> swap ron
