Hi, I´ve changed the size of my partitions with PartitionMagic v6 , and now LILO is not able to boot from Linux , What can I do?. Thanks in advance.
Try this: boot from the install CD, choose 'boot installed system', run lilo. On Sat, 11 May 2002, Bombadil wrote:

I have Suse 7.1 , I´ve tried to do what you indicate but I didn´t see any
option like 'boot installed system" .
When I boot from the CD , it runs automatically Yast , and I only can
choose between Install or actualice.
May be I am not using the rigth CD?
Thanks.

Try CD 2, to run the "old" yast. There is an option to boot the installed system. Just keep looking... /Stefan
I´ve found it !
But now I have another doubt , because It asks me
for boot device . To be honest I am quite new to
Linux and I don´t really know in what device
is intalled Linux.
In PartitionDisk I see my hard disk partitions right now are :
Disk Partition Type
1 c: NTFS with W2000
1 * Extent
1 d: FAT32
1 * Linux Ext2
1 *.SWAPSPACE Linux Swap
1 * Linux Ext2 ----> this one is
the big one with my Linux ... I think
Is it possible to deduce de device from list above?
Thanks.

The one between D and Swapspace is most likely your /boot partition. The last one in the list is / (the "installed system") if you want yast to boot your installed system then select this If you check in partition magic then the 4th item in your list should be quite small. Once you get your system started you can use Kmenu -> System -> Disk Free, to find out the device names and mount points. I'm sure someone else on the list will correct me if I'm wrong. -- dh I've been awake: 1 hours 35 minutes Suse Linux 7.2 professional kernel 2.4.17, xFree86 4.2.0, kde 2.2.2
Solved.
