Well, because the boot floppy doesn't do them. It just replaces the boot-sequence normally initialized through the mbr. If your normal 9.0 boot from lilo does go into X using the correct drivers check whether it is indeed identical to the boot-floppy specs. As I have just found out (bumping my nose=;o)) vmlinuz in the "/boot" directory on your /dev/hda6 partition is symlinked to a specific kernel there. Check if it's the same one your lilo is using for the usable 9.0 boot. GOod luck, HarM
