[linux-help] Re: more LILO problems

[Michael Holmes <maholmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I had this before, if you have made changes to the hard drive....moved a 
partition, or something like that maybe.   Try booting from the floppy, 
then run linux config and change something stupid on the lilo.....i.e. 
change linux to Linux then save changes, this makes it write a fresh lilo 
to the boot sector  of the hard drive.  The problem is that it is looking 
to the hard drive address listed in the lilo and the image is not where it 
expected it.  I am assuming you are not trying to exceed the 2GB limit, and 
it was working prior to some edit.  If non of this works, check out 
/usr/doc/lilo/read.me or (readme)  Changing the name worked for me.  Good 
luck

Mike

I have the same problem as Jim, but i hang on "L-" instead of "LIL-". I
just installed redhat linux on my custom built computer and can only
boot through a floppy.  I would appreciate hearing about any remedies
