Elsadig M. H. Khanagi Be sure that your boot= line in /etc/lilo.conf points to the partition that is marked bootable in the partition table (in cfdisk under Flags you should see 'Boot'). Please also post the output of running /sbin/lilo after editing your /etc/lilo.conf to the way you need (and post your lilo.conf with comments stripped out).

Elsadig M. H. Khanagi Elsadig You are almost there - you just need one more step. After editing lilo.conf you need to run /sbin/lilo. So, after editing: Elsadigroot:# /sbin/lilo Your machine should inform you of the changes made. Good luck!
