Was able to mount /boot following your last message, so I'm not shooting as much in the dark as I was.
To recap.
Red Hat 8 on /dev/hda, with a /dev/hda1 /boot, a /dev/hda2 /, and a /dev/hda3 swap
On /dev/hdb, we have:
/dev/hdb1 Linux from scratch /, not yet ready to boot
/dev/hdb2 Debian woody /
dev/hdb3 swap
I installed Debian, and overwrote my RH Grub setup with LILO. I've edited /etc/lilo.conf, but every time I run lilo -v, I get this:
Boot image: /vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.8 Fatal: open /vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.8: No such file or directory.
My grub.conf that was created for RedHat (knows nothing of Debian) is at http://www.officemechanic.com/grub.conf
My lilo.conf that Debian created and I edited to attempt to add RedHat is at http://www.officemechanic.com/lilo.conf
Thanks very much!

I had Red Hat 8 installed on /dev/hda2, with /boot mounted on /dev/hda1. Booting via grub.
I installed Debian Woody on /dev/hdb2. /dev/hdb3 is swap, and /dev/hdb1 is a partition on which I'm building a Linux From Scratch system.
Debian boots no problem after Lilo installed, however, Red Hat no longer boots.
Please post your /etc/lilo.conf.
Once you boot to Debian, you can mount /dev/hda1 and determine what the Red Hat filenames are.
Alternative: install grub from Debian. Then use the update-grub script to
help build a /boot/grub/menu.lst that includes all your bootable
kernels.
I'm not at all sure what I'm doing with Lilo. My problem is compounded
by the fact that I didn't record the grub settings before Lilo wiped
them, and can't seem to mount the /boot partition on /dev/hda1 to find
out the correct path for the image and initrd. (I'm running the latest
kernel as installed by Red Hat.)
Any ideas as to what I need to look at to figure out what I need to to next? (Anybody know what the image and initrd lines SHOULD say for my version of RedHat?)
Any ideas why I can't get boot to mount? I enter "mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/temp2" and get "Invalid MFT record 0 Mount: Wrongs FS type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems."
Are you root when you try this?
Assuming ext2 files system:
# mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt
Thanks a bunch!
