Hmmm... this looks good as far as I can see... What I don't understand is that lilo complained that the map file and the boot sector were on different drives. I _never_ got that error.

I can only think of one thing now, but I don't see how that would lead to your lilo not booting at all... If you are using a kernel from debian, it might be that you need to specify an initrd image like this: initrd=/initrd.img Basically, I'm puzzled and lost, :-( You need a guru... David -- Hi!
