so now it isn't booting still off the HD, but if i use the use the rescue disk and do "rescue root=/dev/hda6" it will boot ok.
the only clue i have as to what's up is if i run lilo with the settings all the same as they were before this went down (ie, legitimate lilo.conf) it tells me: > Device 0x0300: Invalid partition table, 1st entry > 3D address: 0/0/0 (-1) > Linear address: 1/0/0 (0) i *think* 0x0300 is my ethernet card, but that may be 0x300... i poked around in /proc and /etc looking for reference to "0x0300" and the only things i found were in /proc/kcore (duh) and /etc/magic. neither of those seem too useful... what is the problem that causes the symptom of the system not doing anything when it should load lilo? this is what's been going on this whole time with the normal (from HD) boot - it says the cache size and clock speed and does nothing more. if you can elucidate this for me i'd be very grateful. thanks aaron. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
