It means nothing. It is just a warning I got the same message during the same problem after moving my stuff from hdb2 to hda2 because I got a new and better disk. I downloaded source of lilo and checked the particular warning message. lilo store the bios number of the harddisk in root in bios_root and the bios number of the boot device in bios_boot and if you use a floppy it has bios number 0x00 and the bios_root will have , say 0x80 and these two numbers are checked with a == against each other. Unless the nowarn flag is set, the message is printed. I was wasting many hours trying to track my problem back to this message. -- Svenn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
