Are you doing this on a clean drive? Did you partition under linux? I searched around on google (it is pretty easy to find "40 40 40" :) ) and other people have had this problem, but I couldn't find a conclusive solution.
make sure lba32 is in /etc/lilo.conf it is in all the lilo.conf's I have on working machines so I can't see why it wouldn't be in yours. Some people suggested it was related to being over the 1024 cylinder limit. Also, if it is a clean disk, repartition it. Try a 10 MB /boot partition (but this should be solved with lba32). You could also try linear instead of lba32, see if that helps. Finally, what sort of machine is this on? How old is the bios etc? -----Original Message----- From: The Doc [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2001 12:13 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: RE: MBR Problem I tried fdisk /mbr and then reinstalled potato, installing lilo on /dev/hda1, not the MBR. I still get that shit when I boot. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
