After doing a disk check you could do this : Do you have a healthy /etc/inittab? Does your kernel use initrd.img? Is it healthy? Maybe you could boot your system with a rescue-system (using nearby kernel version) making "chroot /mnt/yourbootdrive /bin/bash". There you could try rerun lilo. Next you could look inside chroot how much of your system is damaged. Maybe you would be able to use commandline dpkg to overwrite/reinstall defective packages. But that looks like much work. Consider backing up your data and reinstalling. It may be less effort. Willi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
