You need to boot with a rescue disk, or with your installation CD and type 'rescue' at the LILO prompt.
This will allow you to mount your linux root partition and sort out your /etc/lilo.conf file. Remember to run /sbin/lilo after changing the config file or your changes will have no effect. > -----Original Message----- > From: Benjamin Ng [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 5:11 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [newbie] new installation > > Hi All, > > Just installed Mandrake 8.1 in my AMD-500Mhz machine.
