I've seen many posts on how to fix squeaky floors, but think I have a
problem that hasn't been covered yet. I have a squeak that is under
linolium. In the basement, not only is the ceiling finished with
drywall, but the squeak is directly above the duct work! And it isn't
close the the edge, it is directly in the middle of the duct work. I
think my only option is to repair from the top, but how can I
accomplish this without ruining the linolium?

Thanks in advance!

I don't see how. Maybe you are ready for new flooring anyway??

If the current linoleum is good, how possible is it to lift up what is
there, screw, and put down the same thing? Most floors aren't glued
all over, right, just double-sided-taped at the doorways, or the
edges?

This is a pure guess, based on what you posted. I would go to the
store with sample of your flooring and get a match in color paint.
Drill pilot holes, and screw in small finish screws. The heads are
small enough to try and hide, but can bite a little to hold down the
floor. Then cover with paint, and use a linolium sealer to seal the
paint.

Now that was a pure guess, I would test first in a not vissble area.
Like under the fridge. This way if this solution as wacky as it
sounds, you can hide it.

A pure guess....
