that same message i see once, but the LinuxforWindows was installed. if is true, the way to invoke the linux is from windows, program file: linux for windows or something. if you donīt find the icon, will have to search thru my computer/C drive/Linux

this is only if linuxForWindows was used on install

22:05 == MAJOR:MINOR
printf "%d\n" 0x22
gives 34
than you look for 34 in the list you get with
ls -l /dev/hd*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 34, 5 apr 30 06:10 /dev/hdg5

that is why i asked if you had raid. So what kind of hardware do you have?

The error 22:05 or something like it is common. You get it when lilo can't find the kernel and i think your error had a other reason than zeros.

Start the installation cd
press f1
type: rescue
$fdisk -l /dev/hda
you should now see your linux partitions, if not don't go on. POST
$mount -a /dev/hda5 /mnt
$chroot /mnt
change with your favorite editor in /etc/lilo.conf
/dev/hdg* into /dev/hda*
$lilo

this should do it but if it doesn't and your computer is screwed up don't blame me.
Because you should have backed up if you had important information on it.
