Are you using lilo? If so, you can edit the file etc/lilo.conf.
Do what you did before, and once you've got started, press ctrl-alt-f3 and you should get to a console prompt ( if not, try f2, f4, etc ). df will show you theold filesystem mounted under /target or similar.


1. chroot /target /bin/bash
2. vi /etc/lilo.conf. Use the down arrow until you're the initrd line, and type dd
the line will disappear. tyle :wq to exit the editor.
3. lilo - this will give you informational messages about the kernel(s) being loaded.
4. exit
5. ctrl-alt-f7 (f8? f1 ) should get you back to the graphical installer. abort and reboot


Good luck (:

Steve
PS. I;'ve just checked. delete the same line from /etc/grub.conf if you're using that bootloader. Can't remember if you need to run anything to install grub though. Can anyone enlightem the OP on this?



then a message box came up: Program Exited Abnormally (return code 1)
