Repost with modifications, first one did make it to the list:
I did an aptitude and did an update,
and a few "g" keystrokes to download and install.
Aptitude said something like: Warning, it was deleting modules for old
version of kernel. Now the system won't reboot.
THe screen says:
LILO 22.5.6.1 Loading Linux ........................
...........
This is from a Knoppix CD hard disk install.
Any way, I can reboot using the Knoppix CD
as a rescue disk and then edit /mnt/hda1/etc/lilo.conf .
But when I run lilo, it
says:
# sudo su
# lilo -C /mnt/hda1/etc/lilo.conf
Fatal. Sorry, don't know how to handle device 0xf000
How can I use Knoppix to fix LILO boot?
AFAIK you have to create new version of your /etc/lilo.conf where you replace the old paths by new ones (just like/etc/lilo.conf becomes /mnt/hda1/etc/lilo.conf, you have to map all of them in the same way)
of course, do not change your original lilo.conf, you will need it in future...
