Thanks Riley, but that did not solve it. See below. Must I change or delete the mbr on /dev/hda? When I reboot it tells me that (I try to translate that from German here) it is missing a boot system. (something like operating system not found) I guess that is because I have also win98 installed and now it (that means the rest of the data in the mbr) seems to search for win98, but now the activated partition is hda2-linux, including the lilo with these results: linux:~ # lilo Added l * Added failsafe Warning: CHANGE AUTOMATIC assumed after "other=/dev/hda3" Added w Added memtest86 TABLE may not be specified near line 46 in file /etc/lilo.conf What does that "CHANGE AUTOMATIC" mean? /dev/hda3 is my W98 partition. And what about that sentence that the table may not be specified? Line 46 ist the EOF!!! So what table??? -- *º¤.,___,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤ =Oliver@home= *º¤.,¸¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤ I / __|__ http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/Olli/olli.html I I / / |_/ http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/friends.html I I \ \__|_\ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VGAP-93 I I \___| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I >>> Telek0ma iBBMS - moving house, but online! +49....TRSi1 <<< - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
