Thanks, Ken. It's disappointing to see that I appear to be right about the only way to test a grub configuration is to reboot, and the if there's a problem see if you can somehow manually prod things back into action. I'll persevere with lilo, therefore, but may end up having to experiment with grub. luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
