Thanks, Mikkel, this is what I get from that: LILO version 21.4-4, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger 'lba32' extensions Copyright (C) 1999,2000 John Coffman Reading boot sector from /dev/hda Merging with /boot/boot.b Secondary loader: 11 sectors. Mapping message file /boot/message Message: 0 sectors. Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 Setup length is 10 sectors. Mapped 0 sectors. Mapping RAM disk /boot/initrd-2.4.18-3.img RAM disk: 0 sectors. Added linux * Boot other: /dev/hda1, on /dev/hda, loader /boot/chain.b Mapped 6 (4+1+1) sectors. Added DOS /boot/boot.0300 exists - no backup copy made. Map file size: 19968 bytes. Writing boot sector. Does something seem amiss that I'm missing? Meanwhile, the partition numbers haven't changed at all - nothing. Just really weird and I thought that I'd dealt with enough lilo problems, just never this bloody bit before...which sucks because I'm trying to get my network straightened out so I *CAN* do a reinstall on this box...really sucks... -- Stephen Kuhn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Kuhn Media Australia -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
