After it boots, take a look at the /etc/lilo.conf file to make sure its OK. If you are not very familiar with it-> man lilo.conf. Anyway probably your problem will be solved just by runing lilo, try the following way #lilo -v -t Check the output for errors, if everythig looks fine do #lilo -v then pop the CD out and reboot. if that doesnt work tell'us and we'll dig a little deeper. :) hugo - -- Ing.
