Its not quite clear how your system is setup, but: If you just want to recreate the specific /boot partition why not just 'upgrade' the then connected / partition (i.e. install with itself)? When asked let the offending /boot partition be formatted as well so that it gets installed again. If you're comfortable editing /etc/lilo.conf, do so it'll be quicker! +++ On the other hand: This freezing of eth1 suggests there's an eth0 that does get brought up correctly. So check 'dmesg' and "/var/log/syslog" what they have to say about that. Be sure to get that info fom the right partitions as I gather from the multiple /boot partitions you've got --> there's more than one linux-install on that box. Good Luck, HarM
