Thanks, but I read the GRUB documentation and rebuilt my menu.lst file by hand. That and I used another 9.2 system at home as a reference. I really wish I knew what happened. This kind of data loss just isn't acceptable from an installation of an RPM (some losses are worse than others). It makes we wonder if I really wish to continue to use Mandrake after this experience. If I hadn't checked and just rebooted my internet connection would be toast and I'd be spending far more time trying to figure out what happened that I desire.
I'm still running the old kernel right now. I'm kind of afraid to reboot at this point..... Kind of makes me feel like I'm using Windows again. -Weave Jason Tower [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on Thu, Jun 17, 2004 at 01:26:56AM -0400: > i just checked one of my mdk92 servers, unfortunately it is using lilo > not grub. but i'll be happy to send to the lilo config file if you > want, at least you could install lilo and keep your system bootable. > > jason > > On Thursday 17 June 2004 01:06, Brian Weaver wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > I've had a box running Mandrake 9.2 that has been stable for a very > > long time.
