Also try "ls" at the silo prompt and see if it's there. More than likely this is caused by boot being on a seperate partition. Might want to redo that installation without the extra /boot (try a 500Meg "/", 1G "/usr" and 512Meg swap). > If this boots, you might want to copy /etc/silo.conf to /boot, > and create a symbolic link from /etc to /boot/silo.conf so that > your system can find it. Needs more than this, have to create a symlink from /boot/etc to "." (unless you reinstall SILO with some extra params). -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
