are you using lilo? I got this error message, when I had lilo pointing to the wrong disk (I changed the disk from /dev/hdX to /dev/hdY). I had to boot from something else (a CD in my case) and chroot to the partition I want to boot, rerun lilo and everything went fine. hope this helps Joerg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
