Hi, since my LILO didn't want to work anymore I just tried to use GRUB as replacement. First, I tried to install grub with a proper menu.lst, but this didn't work so I tried it step by step. Currently, I am running linux-2.4.0-ac8 on my Laptop (an Compaq Armada M700) with a drive with the following specifications: hda: IBM-DBCA-206480, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hda: 12685680 sectors (6495 MB) w/420KiB Cache, CHS=839/240/63 Partition check: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p3 p4 < p5 p6 p7 p8 p9 > I installed the Debian-Package of GRUB which has currently the Version: Version: 0.5.96.1-0.1 On this machine there are two Operating Systems: On partition 0 there is Windows 98 on FAT32, On partition 1 there is Drive D: of Win98 (FAT32). Partition 2 is the Bootpartition, which is mounted under linux as /boot Primary-Partition 3 is parted as the following: Partition 4 is the Swap-Partition under Linux Partition 5 is the Root-Partition under Linux Partition 6 is the /usr-Partition under Linux Partition 7 is the /var-Partition under Linux Partition 8 is the /home-Partition under Linux The fdisk-Geometry shows the following Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 839 cylinders Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 278 2101648+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda2 279 557 2109240 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda3 558 558 7560 83 Linux /dev/hda4 559 839 2124360 5 Extended /dev/hda5 559 591 249448+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda6 592 617 196528+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 618 720 778648+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 721 746 196528+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 747 839 703048+ 83 Linux I installed the package and used grub-shell to install it: GRUB version 0.5.96.1 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.

I looked into the FAQ about haveing an own /boot-directory, but even the hints there (using /boot/boot/grub or cd /boot && ln -s boot . didn't work.
