What happened was that lilo installation couldn't be stopped/skipped ...well no big deal so I installed it in the mbr as I usually do. On boot I found all the old entries still there next to the new one. But they all (the mdk entries) pointed to the same / partition(in my case hdd1) instead of the ones they originally pointed to. Thus rendering 9.0 unbootable. So I booted up old 9.0 using a boot floppy added 9.1 to lilo.conf, pointing it to it's proper partition and copied the needed initrd and vmlinuz to /boot and everything's fine. Good luck, HarM
