My installation is simmilar to the yours, only that my first hd has 1233 cylinders. If i start linux i get an : LILO UNCOMPRESSING KERNELOK LOADING LINUX and than it hangs. I don't realy know if this is because i´am over the 1024 Cyl. limit, because on Suse-linux it works fine. Can you give me some tips ??

Try compiling your own kernel and do a make zImage instead of bzImage (Debian default).

LILO hassles
Hi LILO gets to 'LI' and then hangs with the IDE disk light on. I have tried the linear option. The partition is 900 something cylinders (below 1024), and on a SCSI disk. I read that LILO wont work if the Linux partition (or for the matter any partition) is not disk0 or disk1. Is this correct. My system has the following disks: Primary IDE - Primary Disk - 2Gb Disk (DOS and Win95 for games) Primary IDE - Secondary Disk - CDROM Secondary IDE - Primary Disk - 8Gb Disk (NT for work) Secondary IDE - Secondary Disk - None SCSI - Device 0 - 2Gb Disk (Linux) SCSI - Device 3 - CD Writer SCSI - Device 4 - Tape - If I boot Linux using the NTLoader (on hda1) with the bootsector from sda1 I get to 'LI'. - If I set my Bios to boot SCSI before IDE, I get 'LI' Any suggestions. (Other than moving Linux to hda1) Regards Pieter Viljoen Tel: +27 (11) 235-7312 Fax: +27 (11) 235-7307 Mobile: +27 (82) 896-2718 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.atio.co.za http://www.atio.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.smartnet.co.za/~pieterv/
