That should deal with this problem. >=20 > Best wishes from Riley. Thanks Riley, but that did not solve it. See below. Must I change or delete the mbr on /dev/hda? When I reboot it tells me that (I try to translate that from German her= e) it is missing a boot system. (something like operating system not found= ) I guess that is because I have also win98 installed and now it (that me= ans the rest of the data in the mbr) seems to search for win98, but now the activated partition is hda2-linux, including the lilo with these result= s: linux:~ # lilo Added l * Added failsafe Warning: CHANGE AUTOMATIC assumed after "other=3D/dev/hda3" Added w Added memtest86 TABLE may not be specified near line 46 in file /etc/lilo.conf What does that "CHANGE AUTOMATIC" mean? /dev/hda3 is my W98 partition. And what about that sentence that the table may not be specified? Line 46 ist the EOF!!!
