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.

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,
Fails? Well, now is probably not the best time to sort that, unless you have more information. Do you have any form of boot disk, either created during install, by yourself, or supplied by SuSE? If you do, you should be able to boot off that. If you don't have a bootable disk, you can create one from the SuSE CD. If you only have access to Windows, you can use the program rawrite on the CD to write a boot disk image from the /disks directory on the CD to a floppy disk, and boot off that. then
you can rerun LILO. That should fix it.
