Upgrade all versions. Get yourself a 2.4.x kernel and a good filesystem.

And certainly not on redhat 6.2 Upgrade to RH 7.3, lock the server down, and throw sufficient RAM and hard disk at it (especially as you are likely a fairly small setup, just 64 kbps line), then you have a better choice of success. -srs -- Suresh Ramasubramanian <----> mallet <at> efn dot org EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin [Linux One Stanza Tip] From : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LOST #292 -**< Sub : Recovering an accidentally deleted boot.b >**- The boot.b file along with chain.b and os2_d.b are created at the time of compilation of LILO.
