At the lilo log on screen try hitting Esc, and then at the prompt enter linux noapic noacpi That will try to boot with those features disabled. If that works come back and we can show you how to make the change permanent. If it does not work tell us what mobo/CPU/chipset you are using. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
