Thanks, I will try both removing the compact and running fsck. The 20 second delay is really only 20 tenths of seconds, (2 seconds). I have left the 2 second delay in because this is in the default lilo.conf installed with lilo. I also have left it in because it lets my screen turn on so I can see all the boot information. Another observation I have made that I do not understand. I can change the boot= option from /dev/hda1 to /dev/hda, rerun lilo and fix my problem until the next boot fail. Then I return the option to boot=/dev/hda1, run lilo and my problem is fixed again. Simply running lilo but not making this change does not fix the problem?? -- Bill
