Unfortunately, they are not hotswap drives, and they are a total pain to take apart (Crystal PC's). I'm not even sure which ones they are in the datacenter as we have a whole bunch of them, and it's doubtful that they are labeled. So it's going to be hard to get some server monkey to find it. I already hosed one by trying to boot a modified 2.4.3 kernel remotely, I don't really want to mess up another one. I'll have some people out to one of the datacenters later this week, so if I mess up more there it's no biggie. I'm just worried about the others that are scattered around the country. I kinda like the idea of wiping out one of my partitions, like /home, and installing a debian filesystem on it and just modifying lilo. Although, I don't know if that will work. Doesn't lilo store the position on the disk where the kernel starts? I can probably get it to work somehow, like copying the new kernel to the /boot partition on the redhat box before I run lilo. Once I get it booted I can wipe out the old partitions, and copy my /usr and other partitions to the right places, modify my /etc/fstab, and reboot with everything new in place.
