Thanks Logan
After all of that I've come to the conclusion that the AMD-64 system is
not happy looking at Vfat drives. I could get it working by setting it
up in fstab and then by using KdiskFree mount it and browse it with File
manager, but then when I tried re-booting the machine it would hang up
and I would get that error 11 message. It was just an older drive I had
formatted and took from a win-98 machine and was going to use to back up
data. I think the answer is to re-format it to an ext3 disk and I think
it will work ok. Good job for a rainy day.. The only other problem is
getting sound to work, but that is a job for another day.
This is an ASUS K8V system with an AMD-64 3200+ cpu and 2ea DDR 2700 333
sdram. I've only had it running for a few days but it seems very stable
and fast. So far the only system that I found to work with is Fedora
(Yarrow Beta) for 64 bit. I love Mepis which I was using on my P-4
machine which is now my wifes. I will probably have to wait a few months
before I see a Mepis for 64 bit. Thanks again. Maurice
