Here is a question that may or may not solve the problem. Do you have a CDROM and a CDRW or just the CDRW? If it is only a cdrw then the lilo boot is looking at hdd or hdc which is it? see harddrake for what your system calls it. If it is two devices then the append line should have both listed as append="devfs=nomount hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi quiet" HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
