Boot up using a previous good boot floppy, or the Debian rescue/root disk set. Recompile kernel, reboot and go. In future, you can add another entry to your LILO config to point to a known, good kernel. This allows you to get your machine back to a useable state from where you can find out what went wrong with your new kernel build. -- Regards, Paul
