I have tried 2.2.5-15 to 2.2.12 and 2.3.13 through to 2.3.18ac2 now :). =

2.3 kernels find the partitions without a hitch.

Would it be possible for the amiga partition changes in 2.3.x to be =

into 2.2.12/13?
=20
Or failing that for someone to update affs in 2.3.x to use the new page =

mechanism.

TIA
