The 14 block thing is the reason, but I can't reproduce it with a current disklabel. disklabel set's the right number and SRM loads the right number. The disklabel from my 11th may world did not touch the bootinfo so it was left at 14 as it was before checked with dd | hexdump. I also tried a rebuilt disklabel from 11th may source - it works. Must be an upgrade problem somehow. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de ticso@bwct.de info@bwct.dehelp
