assuming nothing has happened to the HD files,
 lilo.conf  still has the 'noapic acpi=off' item.

nothing should have changed on the HDD,
which has remained in the box during the absence of the mobo.
with the previous mobo, there was never any problem with Linux:
the problems were all with the interaction of mobo/FSB/AGP,
which now appear to have been solved (on the face of it).

no.

yes.

when i got into the machine with the RAMF-118 rescue diskette,
i didn't try 'mount /dev/hdg /mnt/cdrom', which i'll try tonight.
i did try to get BIOS to boot from CD before HD,
but may have given it the wrong drive (HD1 instead of HD2):
the HDD is 'hde' & the CDD is 'hdg'.
in any case, it refused to boot from CD
& insisted on showing the Lilo prompt screen.
again, there's also the 'scd0' thing: might that be relevant?
