IIRC just installing the mbr package doesn't fix your MBR. You have to do what the /usr/sbin/liloconfig script would otherwise do for you (you can do it with the script anyway I think.) To install a pristine MBR on /dev/hda type this: dd if=/boot/mbr.b of=/dev/hda bs=444 count=1 After that you'll want to activate a partition. That is the partition that holds the lilo partition boot sector. This can either be done interactively with fdisk or on the command-line with the command /sbin/activate that comes with the lilo package. To activate the first partition of /dev/hda type this: /sbin/activate /dev/hda 1 Cheers, Joost -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
