Greetings Maybe You don't have a partition called "whole disk". On my system. (SS2 and IBM 4GB): /dev/hda1 -> /boot (10 MB) /dev/hda2 -> / (1GB) /dev/hda3 -> whole disk /dev/hda5 -> /home (rest) Something like this. Maybe You need to have this first partition (boot) at start of disk, because Silo can't reach the kernel after 1024 cylinder on disk. Maybe I'm wrong ;-) Have fun! Bogusław Borgosz
