Are you using lilo or grub to boot? I am guessing you have a malformed clause. | and the computer hangs. At least you get to see the error:-) | Is there a solution to this which doesn't involve re-installing? You need a rescue CD. Several exist on the net. Your install CDROMs, if you have them, can probably also be used in resue mode; RedHat and fedora ones can be. You boot off the rescue CDROM, mount the /boot filesystem, fix your grub.conf, and then reboot to try the new config. With lilo it's a bit trickier. Tell us more about your system. If you can show us your grub.conf or lilo.conf that would be helpful. -- Cameron Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ I'm tired.
