Here's another thing to try. Once you've booted from your rescue disk, mount your root partition under /mnt. Put a blank, formatted floppy in your floppy drive. Then do dd if=/mnt/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 Then reboot from that floppy. If it gives you a lilo prompt, enter "linux root=/dev/hdb1" (or whatever partition is root). This should boot your system somewhat normally. Then, once it's booted, do /sbin/lilo. -- Dan Brown, KE6MKS, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
