Also. Maybe this is a typo or something, but your /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda5 seem to be ocupying the same area of the disk. Not to mention you are wanting to make an extended partion bootable *not* the linux partition. Looks to me like your partition table is hosed up. Your cfdisk printout doesn't even show /dev/hda2. boot=/dev/hda is correct if lilo is in the boot sector not the partition. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
