Im installing on a scsi hard disk but my boot record is going on my primary master IDE disk in the computer. The disk also has Windows XP on it. After installation (which goes flawlessly) Instead of getting the LILO prompt, I get a scrolling screen of 101010101010101010101010 and it never stops. I have to repair the boot record back to the original windws one to get it working again, but I am unable to use Mandrake. Any help would be appreciated. Here is my system: Athlon 1.4 512 DDR RAM Main boot drive is IDE (ultra 100) Linux drive is IBM SCSI drive on an adaptec ultra 160 card kyroII vid card etc etc. If there is anything else you need, please ask as this has been driving me crazy! I tried the graphical LILO as well as the text only LILO. Neither helped. I also tried installing LILO and the boot info to a floppy disk, and it STILL happened. Weird. Thanks! Mike S. ________________________________________________________________ Mine did the exact same thing on first boot but I used the MS three finger salute and booted from the floppy and all went well every time since. No SCSI drives but two Maxtors (13 GB master and 60 GB slave on primary IDE channel). I hadn't updated the BIOS yet when I had that problem either. No trouble since then, even though it took me nearly a week to get my act together long enough to flash it. You did make a boot disk, didn't you? -- Charlie in Edmonton, AB., Canada Mandrake 8.2 registered user 244963 10:15pm up 1 day, 9:17, 2 users, load average: 0.06, 0.03, 0.01
