LILO flat failed, failed to install in either MBR or /dev/hde1 to chain load. Grub at least suceeded there. But it too really failed. As on the reboot, it gets to stage1.5. Yes I tried most of the stage1_5 types for different filesystems by completely wiping the drives. I gave trying any others when I used ReiserFSv3.6. Well the fist 300MB with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hde bs=1048576 count=300 I am guessing this should really go against GRUB and/or LILO. They funny thing is about the whole thing is: I created a Boot CD with grub to auto-load the system, so yet even though it starts from the CD, it actually boots from the hard drive. Also rather head-scraztching, this motherboard and processor was a Fully functional Sid machine before the move to this machine. It had 250GB Maxtor Drives in it vs the 200GB now. Same kernel and everything. Including these files: a copy of the first 1024 bytes of /dev/hde a copy of the first 1024 bytes of the CD (useless as it may be)
