More information is needed. Hardware can cause this (hd went titsup for examp). Less extreme is a software error. Try booting to failsafe. Or, try with the first install disk for recovery, and see if you can mount the root drive that way. mkdir /mnt/hd chroot /mnt/hd cd /etc/ vi lilo and then Check to see that everything lilo (or /boot/menu.lst for grub) is pointing to actually exists where lilo thinks it should be. You will also find the rest of your drive (if it is working) If so, there is an option for re-installing the boot loader while in the recovery mode. If it were my system, my first inclination would be to boot with a Knoppix disk and have a look around to see if I could figure out what went wrong. Booting with Knoppix will show you all your drive's files and is the quickest option, if you have a disk, that is. e
