(That is Octal, isn't it?) The first one you had me try (the one above setting all 4 devices) was apparently the correct one as it worked right away with no errors. I did a lilo -t to test it out and got no errors, so I then committed it and restarted the system, and my LILO menu was back where it belonged. Thank you very much for your help and your explanation into how LILO works and thank you to the other people that helped me to sort this out.

Re[2]: [newbie] LILO issues with 2 hard drives.
May you add the following disk=/dev/hda bios=0x80 disk=/dev/hdb bios=0x81 disk=/dev/hdc bios=0x82 disk=/dev/hdd bios=0x83 or if it does not work disk=/dev/hda bios=0x80 disk=/dev/hdc bios=0x81 to the /etc/lilo.conf right under the line boot=/dev/hda ? and of course run lilo, check if lilo gives an error output and check if it works ? Most probably, adding only disk=/dev/hdc bios=0x81 or disk=/dev/hdc bios=0x82 will fix it, just try which one solves and plz inform us :) And whitin your tests, please keep whatever is in hdb, in its place.
