I'm not *really* sure what's going on because it's very hard to read your text. Using newlines to separate some sentences would simplify it. But let me guess what might be your problem: Looks like you installed lilo into the partition where you did install grml into, instead of installing lilo into MBR of your harddisk. Make sure the line containing boot= in /etc/lilo.conf is correct (AFAICS you need /dev/hda for it) and rerun lilo then. Make sure /proc and /sys are mounted if you are running lilo in a chroot environment. If that does not work please show your lilo.conf (just attach it to your mail) and the commands you are using to fix your setup. regards, -mika- -- You like grml?
