Then I've done something wrong! I'll try providing more specifics. kernel 2.4.5 hda1 ~120MB ext2 /boot hda2 ~128MB swap hda3 ~27GB reiserfs / When I originally created the reiserfs I mounted without using the notail option. I then copied files over from a small partition I had created as a temporary holding space on hdc1 using tar (making sure the tar options preserved owner/group/permissions). Some documents indicate that LILO pukes at reiserfs' default handling of sparse files and file tails. Though since LILO needs byte offsets and the like and GRUB doesn't I assumed that notail would not be needed. I've tried: root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.5 root=/dev/hda3 single and root (hd0,2) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.5 root=/dev/hda3 single both fail. The error message says that init could not be found and to try to use `init=` on the command line. I tried adding `init=/sbin/init` to both of the above scenarios without any change in the symptom. Still trying. Chuck
