absolutely. it reads the disk just fine then as long as its mounted as 
root. Normally I'd know pretty much where to look for this little 
problem, but I'm a recent convert from Mandrake Linux and much has 
changed in RedHat since Mandrake first split off from RedHat. Some 
things are the same but then some things are very different.
