Seems you have installed a new kernel and not called lilo before reboot... I would suggest one of these two ways: -Boot from your older hdd and mount the new one, e.g. under /mnt/test. Call lilo, but give him the configfile from your new hdd, it should ly under /mnt/test/etc/lilo.conf, if you have mounted your new, defective linux under /mnt/test: "lilo -C /mnt/test/etc/lilo.conf Before, check that your lilo.conf is correct! (I have to admit that i' ve never tried this myself) -Boot from your older hdd and use the distro-tools to produce an "emergency repair disk", e.g. "mkbootdisk" under RedHat or "yast" under SuSE. Use this repairdisk to boot the defective linux-installation, check /etc/lilo.conf and call lilo. And one hint: It is always a good idea to have a bootdisk on hand...:-) Solong..
