Hello SuSE folkz, Thanks to everybody who send me suggestions on how to fix map file. The problem was that in /etc/lilo.conf there is a line: message=/boot/message So, that moron wiped off /boot/message and /boot/map files alltogether. I soon as I created /boot/message file (putted in there a couple of good words in his address) and executed lilo everything returned back to normal. Thanks.

Do you have a line:

Hello SuSE folkz, Today I've killed one more NT box in our Eng. Dept. by installing SuSE7.0 Linux on it and putting NT in a condition of unreal guest OS through Vmware. I love to do this >:-) One curious engineer the owner of this box accidentally wiped off /boot/map file. So, now after Kernel compilation when executing 'lilo' it responds with: ' Empty map section'. The box became bootable with boot floppy only. Could somebody tell me please how to restore /boot/map file to resemble normal Linux booting process. Thank you in advance. Alex
