I didn't 're'label any of the partitions....with that said - I also
didn't label the new partitions...but reading through the man page,
seems like it's just a nicety issue (ie. not necessary)?!

LABEL=/		/		ext3	defaults	1 1
LABEL=/boot	/boot		ext3	defaults	1 2
none		/dev/pts	devpts	gid=5,mode=620	0 0
none		/proc		proc	defaults	0 0
none		/dev/shm	tmpfs	defaults	0 0
/dev/hda3	swap		swap	defaults	0 0
/dev/cdrom	/mnt/cdrom	iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1	/mnt/cdrom1	udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,o 0 0
/dev/hdg1	/tmp		ext3	defaults	1 2
/dev/hdg2	/home		ext3	defaults	1 2

(with the last two entries being the new Hard-drive - which is on the
second channel of a a Promise IDE card along with the /dev/cdrom1 device
- on the primary channel)...but the I guess the 'hdg' should have told
you that?!


UPDATE:...if it helps, I think this is 'the issue'....in
/var/log/messages:

gdm[992]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler:  Fatal X error - Restarting :0

which repeats and repeats until I CTRL-ALT-DEL shutdown the system.

Does this mean I just need to re-setup X (with X86Config or
something?)....or does GDM use something else I've missed?

Thanks again - Dave
