you should post your lilo.conf. i'm assuming that the BSD partition might need to be configured as "other" in order to be read correctly. On Saturday 01 December 2001 12:13 pm, Jens Luedicke wrote: > ben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > try running lilo with -l option (lower case L), i.e. 'lilo -l

Hi, I am building a 2.4.14 kernel to use PPP (pppd) and have selected the PPP options as modules. This is due to me installing the drivers and software for my Alcatel USB modem. I seem to have got the USB hotplugging and syncing of the modem working ok. I am now having problems with pppd as I have

Re: Another off-topic -- EXT3 question
