I cannot start from the cd anymore- I hadn't been playing w/ the system geometry at all (I had been compiling a kernel). Neither can I boot from an NT cd (blue screens)- so at this point I'm fairly woirried. It did noot from the cd once, but now fails to. Thanks for youe help. -m On Sun, 5 Mar 2000, Chris Reeves wrote:

This is a sudden predicament. I was rebooting and poof- it fails to come up. So I am htinking hardware error... but I can boot therescue CD just fine, and I can mount and manipulate the /, /usr and /var partitions perfectly.
Or- it did once. It is no longer...
I don't know if this is fixed yet or not...
Does it say exactly "LI" or "LIL" or what?
If it says just "LI", this is usually due to a problem with disk geometry or something like that. Are you saying you haven't been playinng with it at all?
Probably the best idea is to boot of the CD and start the rescue system, then you can rerun LILO. That should fix it.
Hope that helps, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
