In the bios, is the hard drive specified as LBA, NORMAL, LARGE or AUTO ? I had a similar problem (completely different error), and found if I set it to LBA it would install but LILO wouldn't write to the MBR properly. Set it to AUTO after install and it boots fine. Depends on what BIOS you have I guess (mine's an AWARD). Jon -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
