This is where the problem lies. Silo looks for the image on the boot partition (very unlike a PC, in which lilo references an disk block as opposed to being able to read the filesystem like silo can). You can either boot with init=/bin/bash and edit /etc/silo.conf manually, or do an install with just one partition (no need to seperate partitions if you don't have to). I also suggest going with a potato install as opposed to slink. -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
