Hi, Use the Debian Rescue disk to boot your system but mount your existing root partition as the root instead of allowing the rescue disk to mount a ram disk as root. For example, when presented with the "boot:" prompt from the rescue disk type:
linux root=/dev/hda1 Substitute whatever your root partition is. This causes your system to boot with the kernel on the rescue floppy but still uses your hard drive's root file system, meaning that you can easily reconfigure if you need to. Instead of manually configuring the lilo.conf file, try using liloconfig instead. Liloconfig is fairly interactive and it helps to make sure that your lilo.conf file is configured properly. -Ossama ______________________________________________________________________ Ossama Othman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- PGP Keys --- Public: http://astrosun.tn.cornell.edu/staff/othman/OO_PUBLIC.asc REVOKED: http://astrosun.tn.cornell.edu/staff/othman/OO_REVOKED.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
