[wplug] kernel not loading after partitioning hard drive

[John Harrold]

Sometime in December Paul Cantalupo assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Hello,
| 
| I am just repartitioned my hard drive with Partition Magic 7.0. I have a
| Windows partition and several Linux partitions. After reboot, LILO pops
| up with a choice (as usual) of Windows or 2 linux kernels. One of my
| kernels (the original one) works but when I select the other (I use this
| kernel for NTFS support), it hangs during loading. It literally stops
| with "Loading........................" displayed on the screen.
| 
| Is my kernel corrupted from the partitioning? If so, how much more of my
| hard drive could be corrupted? Any chance of recovery beside using my
| non-existent backup CD?  :(
| 
| Thanks for your help,
| 

hey paul.

i had a similar problem on redhat 7.3. after i changed the size of the
partitions, i had to boot off a rescue disc, chroot to the correct root
partition for my box, rerun grub-install. perhaps you can do the same and
rerun lilo. it seemed to fix my problems.
