That's it! As I am booting from floppy-disk (the bios of my machine doesn't recognize harddisk over 4 GB - and mine has 40GB!) the kernel on the floppy cannot read my /etc/lilo.conf on my harddisk (where I put all the correct parameters) so it couldn't get them at boottime. When I give the parameters after the boot-prompt it WORKS ! :-) Thanks a lot for your hints and your patience!! Well now I have to options: first is always to put the parameters by hand when I will going to burn CDs second: I could try to flash my bios - which I haven't been trying till now because some people told me that this is a very tricky thing which could destroy my motherboard resp. the bios-chip. Well, I 'll see .... yours sincerely, Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
