When you enter rescue mode, none of your partitions is mounted. Nor are there any disk devices configured. Depending on your version and distro, the rescue mode might try to detect a Linux partition and mount it. You'll be told if that happens. Assuming that it doesn't, you'll have to make a device for your hard disk [eg. 1 IDE HDD with root as the 1st partition]: # mknod /dev/hda Create a dir to mount your root partition # mkdir /myroot Mount the root partition on to the new dir # mount -t ext[2|3] /dev/hda1 /myroot Now you have to map the root to the new dir you created so do: # chroot /myroot edit /myroot/etc/lilo.conf and run /myroot/sbin/lilo afterwards. --- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in __________________________________ We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed ________________________________________________________ Outgrown your current e-mail service?
