Linux won't start after installation unless:
Hold "delete" and enter BIOS.
Exit BIOS and don't save changes.
This has to be done each time I boot Linux.
I've installed Linux 7.0 several times on two different hard
drives(different makes and models). When the installation is complete and I
try to load Linux without entering the BIOS first. The machine hangs.
LILO comes up and then after 5 seconds - 'loading Linux'. Eleven dots
follow the 'loading Linux' and then the system hangs. The keyboard appears
to be dead.
