If you can boot to your hard drive from floppy, then do so, log in as root, then try this: cd /dev ./MAKEDEV console then try rebooting from the hard drive. For some strange reason, /dev/console is easily corrupted and then causes a LOT of weird problems like this. - DeJay. ___

Following to my prvious email I have installed lilo. the system can boot from floppy. However, when I try to boot from disk the boot starts but it hangs with the following message VFS Mounted root (ext2) filesystem Unable to open an initial console This does not happen with the floppy boot.
