My lilo.conf is fine.

The error I get when I run lilo is "sorry, cannot

with device 0x0102".

It cannot find the drive. It is trying to write to the ram drive or cd. I forget.

Boot with the rescue disk. Mount the drive as follows: (assuming your root is hde6 from your example) mount /dev/hde6 /mnt (mount drive) chroot /mnt /bin/bash (switch root dir to mounted drive) lilo (rerun lilo)

Follow-up: Dougs suggestion worked! With a little tweaking my suse install is back on-line...Thanks Doug!

This is nice! A Followup so we KNOW if the suggested aproaches worked or not. That is something i miss at times. I follow a quite a few threads on this and several other lists, but too often the results of the suggestions are never told. -- /Rikard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rikard Johnels email : rjhn@linux.nu Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 70 464 99 39 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
