I have had this so many times my mistake is engraved in my desk at work.
If you make any changes to /etc/lilo.conf i.e. if you install a new
kernal
then you have to run "lilo -v" to update the MBR otherwise you get "LI"
at boot
up. There may be other reasons but this is a definite cause.

Subject: "LI" - not "LILO"
Quick Question:
What would cause my machine right after an install to give me "LI" and
hang
instead of the usual "LILO" prompt ?
I've now seen it with 2 diff distro's and I just reinstalled till it
workied, but it would be nice to know for future reference what actually
causes this :-)
TIA
Clive
