Sorry if a partial message got through my fingers are too fat I guess.....
Anyway you may have read about my hosed-up suse 8.0 install and how I got it back...well, after I updated lilo (in yast2) and closed yast2 it happened..AGAIN! The EXACT same thing!!!!!
Here's what happened:
I had to add a device file for my windows partition as it got lost in the crash of '02. I added the device file /dev/hde1 I mounted and unmounted the drive /dev/hde1 just_fine, and via yast2, added it to lilo. Updated lilo, fine. All went well.
It then seemed to start updating the configuration files and I think that is when it went NUTS--again! First my desktop icons vanished...when the hard disk stopped thrashing I tried opening my home dir and not there! other base directories where gone, too....it wouldnt shut down properly as I had to use the reset button.
But lilo is back and I can get into windows just fine....
So now I have to do the restore dance again...thank goodness I have the mondoarchive. and thanks for the help from Doug Glenn! (and I am NOT going to use yast2 until it gets fixed!!!)
is there a better place to report this bug?????
