Hi Bish, Thanks again.Finally I experimented the following. 1)Deleted the boot.b from the test system and rebooted the machine and It came up fine.I did it in 2 machines and no problem so I decided to do the samething on the server which got affected and it did not came up after that.It was saying "LI" 2)Moreover I don't know much about RAID as the affected machine's root partion is the combination of /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1. 3)After Some trial and error with various boot options to the boot floppy .I figured out linux rescue option in the RHL installation cd. 4)I copied the boot.b from the neighbouring RHL7.1 machine and re ran lilo. 5)Now the machine is up and running Thanks again Bish with regards kamesh jayachandran
