It now looks like this: --snip-- boot=/dev/hda3 # compact install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=20 image=/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 label=Linux read-only --snip-- lilo -v then reports: --snip-- LILO version 19, Copyright 1992-1996 Werner Almesberger Reading boot sector from /dev/hda3 Merging with /boot/boot.b Boot image: /vmlinuz Added Linux * /boot/boot.0303 exists - no backup copy made. Writing boot sector. --snip-- But at bootup I still get the "LI" - message. Nice try ;-) > The first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot loader, > but has failed to execute it. This can either be caused by a geometry > mismatch or by moving /boot/boot.b without running the map installer. Could this be caused by a geometry mismatch? (I don't know what it means...) I don't have ANY problems when booting by floppy (and I'm going too stick to booting from a floppy, with no problems... :-) Thanks for your help so far. - Fabian -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
