I am no linux guru but I read something the other day that might help.
If you have the cd or ftp access or anything that you can find mandrake go
to \live\usr\doc\lilo-0.20\readme and check what the error seem to indicate.
It depends basically were LILO stops (the letter L, LI etc). That might
help a bit. The directory I gave you is based on what it is in RedHat...so
I assume that it is probably exactly the same or very close. If you are
still having problem go to www.redhat.com and find the manual they have
online. Try to find E.6.18 Post Installation Problems with booting
computer. I might or might not helped you...

Subject: [newbie] Boot probs.
In the wee hours this morning I snuck Linux on my wife's Win 95 machine. I
used System Commander to keep things safe, got Linux up and running, but now
I
can't boot linux. Win95 is still fine and bootable so my life is spared for
now. However, all I get when I select Linux from system commander's menu is
LIL. I know this is for diagnostic purposes, so what does it mean, and
where
should I go from here? Please help or my next email will be from
tom@doghouse!
Many thanks, Tom
