I've tried changing the BIOS according to: http://clue.denver.co.us/pipermail/clue-tech/2003-February/006785.html and have ENABLED LBA. I'm using my (before problems) lilo.conf file which has lba32 (type of geometry?). Maybe I'm using the wrong order of operations though? 1. update BIOS and enable LBA under the master harddrive; save changes and exit 2. reboot with CD in the drive and enter into the rescue CD 3. mount / and /backup partitions 4. make system bootable 5. execute a shell program 6. copy lilo.conf file from /backups to /target/etc/lilo.conf 7. reboot the system with no CD in the drive I guess this isn't my problem? emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin Xtrinsic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
