hi there,
sorry, but i need to make some stupid questions: 1. this happens after a kernel recompile. means that the same configuration was running ok before. is this correct? 2. did you update lilo? i mean, running lilo again.. 3. the file /boot/vmlinuz exists? 4. did you change something "important" in your new kernel? considering filesystems, some boot tricks, etc.. regards slackie1000 |
everything was working perfectly until i gave my motheboard to vendor.................actually my system was even not clearing the post process ( i did some experiments in my system.)
......... now after bringing my system from vendor i'm facing the above quoted problem. so the answers of your questions is that i did nothing in my system settings. i didn't recompiled my kernel ( i don't know how to compile the kernel) and ya /boot/vmlinuz is there moreover i did nothing with lilo too ......... regards |

this is essential information. you should have posted. ok, can you boot into your windows? is it possible that the vendor changed your partitions completely? did you check your hd with fdisk? can you see if the partition information is still there? regards slackie1000 |
