I just had the same problem and had to boot with my rescue floppy. I don't
know of anything dramatic I did (e.g., haven't changed lilo.conf or boot
record) recently to cause this. It's been working fine for a few months
now, including last night. Off to the internet for some research...

Peter,
Take it easy on the guy. Even I, the One and All knowing, didn't know the
answer. Thanks for the help, but the pain inflicted by the delivery just
wasn't worth it. Sit down and have another pot of coffee.

I've included my .config file. What I was referring to was not old ide
support. This is for the old hdd which came with PC-XT, etc.
I was referring to /dev fs support(CONFIG_DEVFS_FS). It is under
filesystems. Please note that I've disabled the support for this.

I don't know what caused it, but it works fine now. After I booted via rescue
floppy, I ran lilo to re-write my HD boot sector. Maybe it was a virus from
Bill Gates on my dual boot.... :-)
