Other Help Topics :: Need help using dsl to restore lilo

Thanks, that worked!

For anyone else having the same problem I was, do the following:

Mount the linux partition you're trying to repair (if it's mounted automatically by dsl you may need to remount it): "mount /dev/hda2" (obviously replace hda2 with appropriate device if yours is different)

then "chroot /dev/hda2"

then edit /dev/hda2/etc/lilo.conf if you haven't yet

then running /dev/hda2/sbin/lilo should do the trick.
