-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Use your Linux rescue disk to boot into Linux. Then run /sbin/lilo to rebuild the boot sector. /sbin/lilo -M will reset the master boot record. If you do not have a rescue disk, you should be able to boot the Red Hat CD and run rescue from there. Once you are in the rescue system, mount your linux root (eg. /dev/hda5 or whatever) on /mnt, then do a chroot /mnt. You now can edit your /etc/lilo.conf then run /sbin/lilo with the appropriate options. Then exit chroot, umount /mnt and reboot. On Mon, 25 Aug 2003 15:47:18 -0700 (PDT) "M.V.Q.
