Hello again,

I had the same problem exactly. If i remember well, the BIOS lost settings due to low battery.
Entering to BIOS configuration and doing the hard disk Autodetection it was solved.

Just my 2 cents worth of thought but I think your error message is the classic "something didn't work with LILO". You don't mention if you use LILO or not to boot but if you do I would look at your configuration files and rewrite it to the boot drive. I know this forum has more info on LILO problem (check the wiki also) do a search.

The DSL Forum Search default is 'OR'
If you search for "cat dog" you will get all "cat" posts and all "dog" posts.
If you search for "cat AND dog" you will only find results that contain BOTH "cat" and "dog"
Add '*' for wildcards, " cat* and dog* "

In BIOS, I have 'Auto Detect' everywhere. So: I have LILO. Where/How can i find LILO's config files(I wasn't looking for it yet)? I was searching for a "L 99 99" and i didn't found anything good(I don't know how to search[?] :P )
