Dale . . sorry another change . . . . I just saw that SUSE did update it's kernel again !!! . . So we need to replace the SUSE entry with this:

image=/boot/suse/vmlinuz-2.6.5-7.104-default        label="SUSE"        initrd=/boot/suse/initrd-2.6.5-7.104-default        optional        root=/dev/hda10        vga=0x317        append="splash=silent desktop resume=/dev/hda5 showopts"

I see the mistake Dale . . . . you typedboot=/dev/hda1map=/boot/mapdefault="Mandrake90"keytable=/boot/us.kitAnd it had to be:keytable=/boot/us.kltThe i has to be an l !!!I hope you copied and pasted the rest of the text, because typo's like that can mess up lilo badly . . . ;):whistling: Bruno

:hmm: :ermm: :hmm: :ermm: Here is the latest hot info after the reboot ......1). The light is out... back to normal ops.... B) 2). Mandrake 9.0.....good to go....booted all the way into the GUI.3). Knoppix 3.4.....dead in the water.... gets to the part of the boot where it is doing a fsck...hda9 has errors.. check forced and it fails...this is for both 2.4 (which did work) and 2.6 (which was just there, it did not boot up anyway)4). Slackware 9.1....good to go..... booted all the way into the GUI.5). SuSE 9.1.....dead in the water....constant I/O errors....all refer to /dev/hdb.....6). Windows XP....good to go....booted all the way into the GUI.An unrelated but irriating question... during Mandrake 9.0 boot-ups, for some unknown reason it will activate my printer and kick out a blank sheet of paper with about an inch worth of symbols in the upper corner, only one corner too.... what the heck is this supposed to be ?????

That is strange. I guess you would probably need to look at your logs (Located in the Mandrake Control Center) to find out what is happening. You could try uninstalling your printer in the MCC and reinstalling it to see if that helps.Julia B)
