-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Brian, You've been attacking the wrong problem. While the error message stated something about the wrong major number that isn't really the problem. Your /dev/hda1 is perfectly fine and ought to be left alone. What *would* help is if you described what /dev/hda is, how it is partitioned and the relevant section from your dmesg. You also mentioned something about USB. I think the problem is either hardware being identified improperly or your drivers are somehow wierd. The info I asked for should have some clues as to what the real problem is. Joshua b.
