Hi,
 
Yes first you need to use a boot CD that can mount your original disk (such as your Knoppx CD). Next, execute these steps:
 
- Open a terminal
- Go to the directory that contains your original mounted hard drive
- executed 'chroot' so that now your hard drive looks like '/' instead of '/mnt/hard_drive' (or whatever it's mounted as)
- Run lilo to get it to re-write the boot record to the disk
 
Cheers,
 
Warren

Hi All,

While updating my system, I managed to fsck it pretty good. When I boot, I get LI and it stops. I remember that that means that the second stage loader doesn't take over. I just don't remember how to fix it. I can boot up Knoppix and mount the file systems, and everything seems to be there. Can anyone smack me upside the head with a clue stick on how to fix this while I go searching google?

TIA,
Kenny
