Yep, I'm booting off of the XFS 1.0.2 cd.

Yep, the partitions are of type 83, as follows:

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1       838   1689376+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2           839       969    264096    5  Extended
/dev/hda5           839       969    264064+  82  Linux swap

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdb1             1      6242   3145936+  83  Linux
/dev/hdb2          6243     65531  29881656   83  Linux

I have a stock Red Hat 7.1(XFS) system (no lvm, not sure what md is, so I
probably haven't installed it :)

Lilo is on /dev/hda of course.

Hope this helps,
Thanks again,
Trevor
