[LUG] Linux Boot disk? Video Capture?

[Julian Hall <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Two questions:

1.  Had to reinstall Winblows :(  which killed LILO.  Reinstall 
instructions tell me to use a boot disk (which I don't have) and type in:
linux root=/dev/hda   where hda is the partition the Linux install 
resides on.  Mine is on hda8.  I used a Suse Live CD to get at the boot 
prompt, entered 'linux root=/dev/hda8' and it told me it could not find 
the kernel.  What is going on?  My normal distro is Xandros 3.0
2.  Video Capture.  Windows Service Pack 2 has fouled up my video 
capture in Windows.  I am not about to go through all the hassle of 
reinstalling yet again just because Microsoft are incapable of producing 
a stable product.  I know I've asked this before but with Christmas 
coming up it seems a good time to ask for presents ;)  Can anyone 
recommend a Video Capture card (doesn't have to include a tuner as I use 
the cable box to view TV) which is *guaranteed* to work in Linux?
Kind regards,

Julian
