Hello Bartosz, and everybody who answered (thank you!)

I managed to get my system work - it's right, don't format with partition
magic. If one writes a partition EXT2 with PM, as primary at least, it won't
be read as EXT2 under linux... don't know why - in fact the TYPE of partition
even isn't set as LINUX. Ok, use cfdisk/fdisk, it works perfectly. Then
formatted as jfs without problems.

It now boots and run perfectly. I just have the message "cannot read partition
table" that appears in the boot messages (does not affect anything in fact).
This may show that it is not a problem with lilo, but a jfs handling problem...
I don't know...

Thanks again,
I am very glad to play again with this marvellous distribution!
