Hi, I 've try this, and still get the message "change root device to wd1a", and get the panic, and rebooting after this. I also tried making anothe r partition after my DOS in the first drive, and somewhere in the setup when I was in custom setup and selected "commit", I get the message like "can't find kernel image link in the root file systems........", wonder what did I do wrong? or why this happened? Thanks, -Sann
