Well, as the pilots say, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. I still can't quite visualise how you come to have a bootable vmlinuz, let alone boot.b. If it has once booted I doubt that there will be any problems until (maybe - I am guessing), the next amendment to lilo.conf and reinstall, and perhaps not even then.
It had a sort of logic to me in that I was attempting to put things back as they were. However although it runs, boots, etc it is not perfect. Lilo still brings up the same error Fatal: read /dev/hda: No such file or directory and on the console log I have linux kernel: Cannot find map file. I have sorted the new partition out and Linux seems happy with it.
On a different subject, sorry I can't help with the kernel change question you posted .. I run vanilla kernels and have never installed a SuSE update.
Don't worry about that. I have had some help in installing a vanilla kernel but I could not get it to boot, so abandoned that. Thought I would try the Suse kernel instead to if I can get that to work. We'll see :) Regards, David
