Boy... you seem to completely misunderstand how lilo works, and how to use *separate* /boot directories on different partitions... # df (sorted for clarity) Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 485M 67M 393M 15% / # 9.1 /dev/hda5 3.9G 2.5G 1.3G 68% /usr # 9.1 /dev/hda6 485M 110M 350M 24% /var # 9.1 /dev/hda7 # swap /dev/hda8 985M 19M 916M 3% /tmp # shared /dev/hda9 485M 62M 398M 14% /92 # 9.2 /dev/hda10 3.9G 754M 3.0G 21% /92usr # 9.2 /dev/hda11 485M 49M 411M 11% /92/var # 9.2 /dev/hda12 4.9G 3.3G 1.3G 72% /home # shared /dev/hda13 4.9G 1.1G 3.5G 24% /usr/local # shared /dev/hda14 5.8G 5.0G 564M 90% /ISO # ** /dev/hda15 9.8G 34M 9.3G 1% /var/www # shared ** This is mounted by the installer (CD ISO images on this one), so it can't be mounted during the install. I don't use a shared /boot and there is no reason to copy kernel images between partitions -- just *properly* define the lilo stanzas. 9.1 and 9.2 *each* have a /etc/lilo.conf -- while they can't be identical, with appropriate stanzas in each, they can produce the same MBR. Rreread what you snipped and try to understand what happened -- then you should see what Mdk's installer did wrong... > On Thu, 4 Sep 2003 08:26:31 -0400 > Pierre Fortin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > <snip> > > > Loading USB printer modprobe: Can't open dependencies file > > /lib/modules/2.4.22-1mdk/modules.dep (No such file or directory) > > [FAIL > > ED] > > Huh??!!!
