Courrier : http://fr.mail.yahoo.com ---------------------------------------- Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"; name="message.footer" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Description: ---------------------------------------- I had this problem... I had 3 primary partitions... and it was the problem. >From the lilo version in LM 8.0, it does "not support" more than *one* primary partition (MSDOS-like). If there are more primary partitions, it hides they at boot time. My first fix was to install the lilo version from LM 7.2 CD's, but I remember I had problems with MandrakeUpdate (proposing me to update lilo at every run) My final fix: backup and repartition disk, leaving only one primary partition and the others extended. Everything works fine now. Salu2, óscar. -- Usuario de Linux Registrado #227443
