bj has more than one directory tree in each of his new partitions.
For example, he has both /usr and /home as directory trees on one
partition, which he therefore should not call either /usr or /home. Yes,
it would have been easier if he had made them into separate partitions;
maybe he'll wind up doing that and therefore not need to use symbolic
links.

Hi Steven !
I again tried by removing the old links & recreating them in single user
mode .
cd /
ln -s /mnt/hda5/var
ln -s /mnt/hda5/tmp
ln -s /mnt/hda6/usr
ln -s /mnt/hda6/home
This time everything worked fine & my sytem is up & running.
Cheers,
bj
