Looking at your lilo.conf, it looks like your root file system is on an IDE disk (=/dev/hda8). What filesystem type is it? As far as I can see you have ext2 as a module. If your root file system is ext2 then you cannot have ext2 as a module... > -- > Paul Mackinney > paul@mackinney.net > > [ lilo.conf and kernel config snipped ] -- Karl E.
