Why have two "DOS" bootable drives? In my experience, "DOS" only likes to see one main bootable drive. Anyhow, back to LILO, Another gentleman on this list had a similar LILO problem. He found out that the additional boot partition was corrupted and as a consequence, LILO would not install properly. Any chance that you might have a corrupted drive? Also, is the bootable flag set for all participants in your LILO configuration file? -- -= Sent by Debian 1.3 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. ....- -.-. .. -.- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
