Hi, when you boot from your CD, you have to mount the root partition of your debian installation. Your root partition depends on your setup, but try the first "Linux Native" partition that has an asterisk in the "Boot" column of the output of `fdisk -l`.
Try (as root) # mount -t ext2 /dev/<your_root_partition> /mnt and then # vi /mnt/etc/lilo.conf The LI output of LILO suggest, that the second stage boot loader (okay, never mind :) was loaded, but could not be executed. Make sure, that your lilo.conf file looks correct and then run /sbin/lilo to re-install lilo. Oh, btw, you will have to copy /mnt/etc/lilo.conf to /etc/lilo.conf, because otherwise the copy from the CD will be used and not your new version. More info: man 8 lilo, man 5 lilo.conf, /usr/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz MfG Viktor -- Viktor Rosenfeld E-Mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] HertzSCHLAG: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/hs/
