I do not know what device 0x0102 is but it might help if you list /etc/lilo.conf so someone can take a look at it. Regards, Terry landie@concentric.net wrote:

here is my /etc/lilo.conf all i did was change hdb entries for hdd # LILO configuration file # Start LILO global Section # If you want to prevent console users to boot with init=/bin/bash, # restrict usage of boot params by setting a passwd and using the option # restricted. #password=bootpwd #restricted initrd=/boot/initrd boot=/dev/fd0 #compact # faster, but won't work on all systems. vga=normal message=/boot/message read-only prompt timeout=30 # End LILO global Section # image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hdd3 label = linux # image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse root = /dev/hdd3 label = suse # other = /dev/hda1 label = windows table = /dev/hda On 24 Jan 2001, at 15:04, Terry Eck wrote:

Does'nt this mean your booting from a floppy after you run lilo? Why don't you boot from your original floppy and type linux root=/dev/hdd3 at the prompt. I don't think you will have to mess with the rescue disk.
linux root=/dev/hdd3 at the prompt. I don't think you will have to mess with the rescue disk.
ok this got me much closerrrr :-) one problem i have still is after loging in and changing fstab as well i tried running lilo again and i get this warning bios drive 0x82 may not be accsessible after that i can't log in from floppy i get lot's of zeros 000000000000000000000000000000000when trying to log with floppy;;;; any help thanks

OK, I didn't pick up on this before... don't do start up a rescue system - instead select 'Boot installed system'. This will boot up into your system almost as if nothing had happened. Then you won't have any problems with you root partition being mounted on /mnt. By booting the installed system, running LILO should be successful.
