Just curiosity questions: does SILO have the same problem that LILO does on older Intel machines with large hard drives? I know Sparc and Intel are completely different but since the U10 is IDE wouldn't you get the same issues if booting from a bigger than 512meg single root partition? Or am I completely off-base here?
Does the minimal install of Mandrake make a smaller root partition? Like I said - just curious.

The only "strange" thing I have see is the line : image=1/vmlinuz in /etc/silo.conf. I have also try to modify this line to image=/vmlinuz but no change... An minimal re-install of Mandrake is OK with SILO. Thanks for your help.
