You need to find a way to run Linux fdisk, and clear your partitions before trying to reinstall. I don't know just what happens, but I have run into this problem--I think it was when trying to install a SuSE distro where there had been a Mandrake. If you have an early distro with the manual (text-based) install, just run that install until you get to the fdisk section, clear everything out and save, then exit and run the suse install and it should work. Good Luck! --doug

HI, yesterday an win98 (in vmware) crashed. On reboot I get a message 'unable to handle kernel paging address' followed by a screen of assorted numbers. I mounted (via rescue system) and re-ran lilo. This made no difference. It now seems as if /boot is empty!. I tried to reinstall, recreated my partition setup via yast but as soon as I get to the 'mounting filesystems' bit the machine reboots and I am back where I started. How can I force the recreation of /boot?
Many thanks in hope
