The machine finds the hard drive (Toshiba) and notes the correct partitioning.

"e2fsck /dev/hda3" says it cannot read the superblock.
Try adding at the boot 'prompt' ide=reverse and see if it works. If that fixes it, add it to lilo.conf. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
