Meh, wish I'd checked emails earlier.
No problem, thanks for your help :)
If it is the udev problem then this will fix it...
Boot knoppix.
Chroot into xandros partition.
If it is the problem, "ls /dev/hda*" will not return anything. To fix that, do:
mount /proc
mount /sys
error:   mount: fs type sysfs not supported by kernel

That's after the following

mount -t ext2 /dev/hda8 /mnt/hda8
chroot /mnt/hda8
ls /dev/hda*
(no such file or directory - looks like you were right!)
so next:

mount /proc
mount /sys

Then I get the error above.
udevstart
Then "ls /dev/hda*" should give some device nodes.
lilo will work (make sure that the config file is right).
Didn't get to this part.

Kind regards,

Julian
