That's it!
As I am booting from floppy-disk (the bios of my machine doesn't
recognize harddisk over 4 GB - and mine has 40GB!)
the kernel on the floppy cannot read my /etc/lilo.conf on my harddisk
(where I put all the correct parameters) so it couldn't get them at
boottime.
When I give the parameters after the boot-prompt it WORKS ! :-)
Thanks a lot for your hints and your patience!!
Well now I have to options:
first is always to put the parameters by hand when I will going to burn
CDs
second: I could try to flash my bios - which I haven't been trying till
now because some people told me that this is a very tricky thing which
could destroy my motherboard resp. the bios-chip. Well, I 'll see ....
yours sincerely, Richard
