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). > Can you boot off the cd in rescue mode no. > or does every attempt to boot result in this error? 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? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto
