Your problem is difficult to understand. Since you were booting normally with LILO previously, it is obvious that you have one of the newer LILO versions and a BIOS which could overcome the 1024-voodoo ... Just re-compiling the kernels should not change things so dras- tically. 1024-voodoo is expected, if Linux is installed after 15 GB, but it should have come before also. This bit is rather puzzling. In any case, if the new kernel cannot be booted through LILO & you need it for hardware support, there is no way out but to go for alternate multi-boot mechanisms ... You may give grub a try, and if the other OS is Win-NT or Win-9x, you can dualboot with them as well ... Detailed How-Do-I documents for dual boot through Loadlin on a Win-9x box, and through boot.ini on a NT box is placed at my home page http://geocities.com/usmbish/ HTH Bish -- : ####[ Linux One Stanza Tip (LOST) ]########################### Sub : Copying from Linux to Win partition LOST #040 Method 2: To copy a file from Linux to a Windows partition #mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy (/floopy is mount point) #cp /path/filename /floppy Then boot through Win/ DOS and copy from Floppy ####<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>################################### : _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
