I commented the wd1 and switched wd2 to wd1 in kernel config. file and i switch all the wd2 to wd1 in /etc/fstab. In /etc/fstab, there are wd2s1f, wd1a, wd2s1?, wd2s1?, and i switched all wd2 to wd1, is that right?? or i only switch the wd1a one to wd2a?? I got this message after i change kernel config and fstab. "can't stat /dev/wd1s1f: No such file or directory" does that mean it can't find wd1s1f?? but i did switch the wd2s1f to wd1s1f in /etc/fstab Thanks for help!!!!! Mark
