I just installed Mandrake 8.0 on an AMD K6-2/450MHz system [384 MB RAM, Diamond video card, SB 16 ISA sound card, two HDs, 3Com NIC]. SuSE 7.1 was the first installation on this system so it is "master" of the MBR; I thus asked Mandrake to write its LILO configuration to the /boot partition. The installation seemed to go okay; all selected packages were installed, the sound card and NIC were configured, a boot disk created, and LILO ran to create a loader on the boot partition. However, when I boot from the boot disk, the boot process appears to go normally for awhile then reaches a point where it attempts to run various processes out of /etc/rc.sysinit. For each of these processes I get a permission denied message and the boot finally just quits. How do I recover from this? I tried the installation twice and got this each time. Any help would be appreciated. TIA, Bill
