Jason,

I didn't install lilo. I am using grub. What happens is it boots up into a
single user mode with an sh shell. I am not sure why it would do that?

thanks for your input,

what do you mean by corrupting?  lilo doesn't come up?  if you telling 
debian to install lilo in the MBR, then that is your problem.  it needs to 
go in the root partition of your linux installation.
