Dear friends:
I cannot boot up to Linux from my HD, only from my boot diskette.
I updated my kernel (five files, if I recall) to 2.2.13-22. I then
edited my /etc/lilo.conf and created a new boot disk.
I have no problem booting with my new boot diskette but I can't boot
with my HD. At the Lilo prompt, it starts booting:
booting linux.up.......
And then freezes for ever.
Here is my new kernel:
[sher@adsl-77-232-189 sher]$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.2.13-22mdk
Here is my lilo.conf:
[sher@adsl-77-232-189 sher]$ cd /etc/
[sher@adsl-77-232-189 /etc]$ cat lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.13-22mdk
label=linux-up
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
[sher@adsl-77-232-189 /etc]$
Would really appreciate someone's help. I can't figure this out. The
boot sequence using my boot diskette is perfect: everything is normal
and everything got an OK. So, why won't Linux boot up from the HD. Never
had this problem before.
Here is a list of the rpms that were automatically updated by
MandrakeUpdate earlier today. I have checked and each of them has been
properly installed. See below. Any idea why I can't boot from the HD?
initscripts-4.23-35mdk.i586.rpm
kernel-2.2.13-22mdk.i586.rpm
kernel-doc-2.2.13-22mdk.i586.rpm

Hope one of you experts can figure this out.
Thank you all so much.
