It's customary to start a new thread when you are asking a new question. Just because you change the subject doesn't mean that mailers won't place them after the message that you hit "Reply" on. :) > I have 2 MDK installs, one Resiser partitions & the other on XFS.

The first question is "Which installation's lilo is in the MBR?" Follow that answer with the output of 'fdisk -l /dev/hda' (assuming that your drives are IDE). I want to see what you have each of the partition types set to and tell us where you have them mounted. With this beginning set of answers, we'll be able to see exactly what you've got and then that will allow us to make the second set of questions. In the future if you provide as much information as you think might be pertinent or useful, we might be able to get you an answer without a lot of back and forth Q&A. :) Blue skies...
