I believe I have solved my problem. When I was creating partitions, I first created the swap, then /tmp to the size I wanted, and all remaining space went to / . I began to think and wonder if the order in which the partitions were created makes a difference so I tried again. I then created the swap, next / and finally /tmp. That seems to have made a difference. It is booting normally now unless I chose option 2 to boot without ACPI. If I boot without ACPI, it times out when finding the drives. Any ideas what would cause that? I'd prefer to not run ACPI on the server. Thanks, Scott
