Thanks Russell

What I have been doing is loading RH6.2 into a 1 gig ext2 partition and than 
creating XFS partitions after the new kernel and supporting
programs are all setup. I than do a migration of the relevant partition to the 
new xfs partition. I am left with only the root FS on ext2.
That's fine but not optimal. I tried doing a root to XFS migration and Lilo was 
not happy at all. Just spit out a continuos stream of 1 and 0.
I have to admit that I have not spent a bunch of time on this part.

Thanks again

Rich
