This worked. Here the way I did it (maybe for the FAQ) .) Booting with the installation DVD (testing) .) Aborting the installation process to get to the main menu .) Entering the shell .) mount /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 /mnt (corresponds to /dev/hda2) .) chroot /mnt .) lilo (it complains that it can't find /proc/partions but nevertheless it's working) .) exit .) umount /mnt .) reboot > > > I have an old SuSE CD, where I have the option 'boot installed system', > > where I could boot my system just to run lilo and then reboot regularly. > > Maybe you'd be even able to use this; I tend to use the Debian Binary-1 CD. It was also working but I won't have it with me all the time. Now I don't rely on it in the future. Thank you for your help.
