That is correct. Here are my partitions: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 2295 18434556 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2 2360 4866 20137477+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 2360 2551 1542208+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda6 2552 4866 18595206 83 Linux hda6 is a ReiserFS partition. I deleted a /dev/hda3 partition with no data on it some months ago, so there is some empty space on my drive as well. The hda3 partition was an error in judgment that I made when I first installed SuSE 7.3 Pro. - and: - - > append = "enableapic vga=0x0317 disableapic ide=nodma apm=off hdd=ide-scsi" - - "enableapic" *and* "disableapic" in the same line? Dunno, maybe this is - a little confusing to lilo? Could be, and I would like to change it at some point, but as far as I know, it has been like that since I enabled APIC in the kernel. - > Personally, I got the impression that there was a problem with the "lba32" - > call which was apparently considered "bogus".

"boot.omsg" only contained yesterday's boot up and shutdown. - maybe boot.omsg ? - Here my lilo.conf for comparison: - image = /boot/memtest.bin - label = memtest86 - - image = /boot/vmlinuz-7.3 - label = 7.3 These two strike me as something that could be a problem as I am lacking these entries. BTW, while I have /boot/memtest.bin, I don't have a /boot/vmlinuz-7.3 does this normally disapear when you recompile? Brian
