Boot the SuSE CD 1. Set the colour and language, then you have the option to boot an existing system (you need to know the device name which the root filesystem is on). Up it comes...and if it does you can use 'mount' and look at /etc/fstab to check all the partitions are mounted OK. Keith

Originally, I had been using a boot disk for Linux. Then, I set up LILO to boot up Linux and Win98, each on a separate HDD. I needed to reinstall Win98, so it overwrote the MBR and LILO. Win98 boots up OK, but I'm lost on how to access Linux. I tried using the boot floppy for my configuration, but it appears that some mount points may have changed, because the boot process stops with a "kernel panic...". My SuSE original boot disk is bad (see other posting!), so I'm trying to figure how to fix this, rather than reinstalling SuSE. I do not have a rescue disk (ugh!).

I could reload SuSE and set it up in a couple of hours, but it would be an learning exercise for me to fix the problem, if at all possible.

Any thoughts?
