Sorry to bounce this message, but I chewed all afternoon on this problem and am finally giving up. As it seems, I can get the system up using rescue root=/dev/sda2 single... no net connection. I can deinstall/reinstall kernel packages, but I won't be asked how I wish to boot at all. After "Setting up ..." its's back at the prompt. The only bootdisk creation utility I found on the system is mkboot, which generates a LILO bootdisk. It gets as far as "Loding linux". No dots - full hang... Any ideas? I got a great many thanks to offer :) Christian
