I think seeing the error messages would be a big first step. Also, did the slackware and knoppix cds fail to boot only after you tried to install 2.4.24, or did that failure start with the kernel change? I take it that the /boot directory is "somewhere" in the remaining 79GB? I don't know if that would cause trouble for lilo ... > > Thanks in advance, > > Martin > > -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
