Howdy, Y'all: Where can I find help with 'lilo'. When I try to boot from hard disk, I get:
LI This happens with several hard disks, usually large ones of 8 gigabytes or larger. The drives are partitioned with partition 1 <= 1024 cylinders, partition 2 is some swap, and partition 3 is 'the rest'. Partition 1 is '/' and contains the entire distribution install (Slackware v8.0). I've read some help files and it mentions drive geometry problems and the 1024 cylinder limit. I usually keep trying different hard drives until I get one that will boot and then I make it /dev/hda. The system boots fine from CD-ROM (Slackware8.0 Install) or pre-install boot disk or post-install created lilo floppy. :-| Regards, Chuck - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
