Hello, Thank you for your response. Running Lilo again didn't solve this problem. I tried to run Yast to redo LILO configuration and I was getting the same message: ' Empty map section' in all cases. Thanks. Alex On Wednesday 14 March 2001 20:26, Jerry Kreps wrote:

Hello SuSE folkz, Today I've killed one more NT box in our Eng. Dept. by installing SuSE7.0 Linux on it and putting NT in a condition of unreal guest OS through Vmware. I love to do this >:-) One curious engineer the owner of this box accidentally wiped off /boot/map file. So, now after Kernel compilation when executing 'lilo' it responds with: ' Empty map section'. The box became bootable with boot floppy only. Could somebody tell me please how to restore /boot/map file to resemble normal Linux booting process. Thank you in advance. Alex
Page 133 of Running Linux, 3rd Edition, says that /boot/map is created when Lilo is run the first time. I don't know if simply running Lilo again after you've gained access by booting from a floppy will work, but maybe copying the 'map' file from the floppy to /boot/map may work. JLK
