I setup my machine with NT and Linux, and followed the instructions in "NT Loader + Linux mini-HOWTO".
As per their instructions* I used bootpart to make the NT loader adjustments. When I boot, indeed I get the option for Linux from the NT loader (boot.ini), which points to the boot file made by bootpart; but NT reports: <winnt root>\System32\ntoskrnl.exe missing or corrupt please reinstall a copy of this file. Well, the file is there in /winnt/system32/.... Both NT and linux still boot and run fine, only that I can't get the NT to boot linux (I now boot it from a floppy). This is a new installation (yesterday), so I doubt it is corrupt. I am reluctant to do a reinstall of all of NT, and don't know how to refresh this single file. Help, or pointers?

Some of their instructions were not clear to me; "For Linux, you must install Lilo at the beginning of the Linux partition (as with OS/2 boot manager) and then add the Linux partition with BootPart: When you install Linux or run liloconfig, select "Superblock of the root linux partition" as location of Lilo. In my sample, this adds the line "boot=/dev/sdb4" on the file /etc/lilo.conf" -- I ran Lilo; with root and boot set to the partition of my linux. Is this all that is required here? -------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Gregory Guthrie [EMAIL PROTECTED] (515)472-1125 Fax: -1103 Computer Science Department College of Science and Technology Maharishi University of Management (Maharishi International University 1971-1995) -------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
