what did you do, exactly? i usually do the following: boot from rescue CD or liveCD. open a shell become root mount my hard drive root device as /mnt cd /mnt chroot /mnt # you might want to mount your other devices (e.g., /usr, /home), but # they might not be necessary. depends on your setup, i guess. cd /etc lilo eject reboot that works for me (well, approximately, i wrote that from memory, so i might have missed a step or two. good luck. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo gquimpo*hotmail.com tiger*sni*ph http://bopolissimus.sni.ph Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" If we were meant to fly, we wouldn't keep losing our luggage. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
