A little warning: image=/boot/vmlinuz <---------!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! root=/dev/hda9 append="idebus=33 hdc=ide-scsi" label=Linux read-only My vmlinuz is on this place: /boot/vmlinuz. But i mean yours will be: /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17. You can let this part of lilo.conf on your current settings. /vmlinuz should it be. Cause there is a link to /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 on /. Check this if lilo makes an error message. Timo
