What did I do wrong ? My box runs fine now. If this can be useful for others I did: I bootted on knoppix V 5.3 In a terminal, as root: mount -o rw /dev/hda2 /media/hda2 /dev/hda2 is the partition / (which must contain the directories /boot and /etc) then cd /media/hda2 finally: lilo -C etc/lilo.conf -r /media/hda2 did the trick. However it is not normal that my mbr was altered when I installed some packages. -- Gérard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Thanks in advance. Modern Debian kernels use libata to drive both SATA and IDE disks. Disks that have been taken over by libata will appear as /dev/sd? , so I think you need to set your root partition to /dev/sda. Others will instruct you on how to use UUID in Debian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
