Dick,
The kernel might be looking at the wrong partition. Here's a fairly
recent
thread on LQ that has a step-by-step check of /etc/fstab:
<https://tinyurl.com/yam94rro>.
With the system running the OS on the USB stick, I wasn't sure how to
run lilo for the hard drive. I tried going to /sbin on the hard drive
using Dolphin (I'm guessing this is KDEs GUI file manager), right
clicking on lilo, and clicking "run in konsole" but get an error message
"Fatal: Cannot open: /etc/lilo.conf. I'm making a guess here, but even
though I'm running the lilo on the hard drive, is it still looking to
the USB stick for /etc/lilo.conf? While there's a lilo.conf_example on
the USB stick, there's no lilo.conf. Is there a way to run lilo for the
hard drive while telling it to look in /etc on the hard drive for lilo.conf?
