Did you try:

The problem is that /dev/hda is the cdrom the UDMA drive is /dev/hde
Your right this is your problem. Why is it configured like this? You have 4 IDE ports. I saw the picture of your mb. Your first hard drive should be plugged into the port that would make it hda. Your MB manual or the silk screen on the MB should tell you which ide port is port 1 (1 relative). Thats where your first hard drive should be connected. Set your bios to auto detect. Boot a win98 floppy and do an fdisk /mbr, then boot from CD-2 and tell yast to boot from an exsisting operating system that lives on /dev/hda?. Then when your up (single-user) fix your lilo.conf and fstab and rerun lilo. Again I see no reason why your first drive is not hda.........
# image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda4 label = linux #
so my version is image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hde5 label = linux #
other = /dev/hdb1 label = . map-drive = 0x80 to = 0x81 map-drive = 0x81 to = 0x80 table = /dev/hdb # other = /dev/hdd1 label = win98 map-drive = 0x80 to = 0x83 map-drive = 0x83 to = 0x80 table = /dev/hdd
No HDb or d, so I do without these
# other = /dev/hde1 label = win98b map-drive = 0x80 to = 0x84 map-drive = 0x84 to = 0x80 table = /dev/hde
That's what I had, though I'm not quite sure about the "table=..." line.
.
Then save the file and re-run /sbin/lilo and you should be right.-- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com
Now give me a fail-proof (read: idiot-proof) method for returning the MBR to its original state and I will try.
thanks
