Thanks, > > Pijus > if you are using a RedHat system, and you know which partition Linux is installed on, boot from the install media, type rescue root=/dev/hda? at the prompt, and then as root re-run lilo. then reboot. All should be well. If you are not on a RedHat system, please specify what dist you are using... though the process should be more or less the same for all of them: 1. boot from floppy 2. specify your root partition 3. run lilo If it ever worked, it should work again. Did you re-compile your kernel? you always need to run lilo after installing a new kernel... ******************************* | Derek D.
