If I try to use an additional swap partition on the 2nd drive, my disk label eventually gets corrupted. Fortunately, I had saved a backup disk label on the other drive and I could boot and restore the corrupt label so nothing is lost. Other than that, the 2nd IDE drive works flawlessly. I've checked my disklabel to ensure that the swap partition is not overlapping anything. Has anyone else seen such a problem? I should probably mention that I'm using a VLB IDE controller with two separate IDE interfaces as opposed to a single interface in a master/slave mode. -- Todd Pfaff \ Internet: todd@flex.eng.mcmaster.ca Dept. of Mechanical Engineering \ Voice: (905) 525-9140 x22902 McMaster University \ FAX: (905) 572-7944 Hamilton, Ontario, CANADA L8S 4L7 \
