[newbie] Problem booting up with LILO
Hi there all! I have a problem when booting lilo (or grub?, whatever the default is at the installation). When the system starts up all i get is this: L01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 And if i let it do i´d finish with hundreds of 01 rows. The first ´L´makes me think it does try to load lilo but fails. When booting from ploppy i got no errors and the system starts up with no problem. So i tried to install lilo on the floppy and restore my HD mbr (with fdisk /mbr)to leave it alone, but the same thing happened!! Im running a p600 with two HD, Windows is installed on a 40gb ATA100 7200 brand new HD(primary master), and the one im trying to install linux on is a 8gb set up as a secondary SLAVE. Anyone can help? All comments will be highly apreciate. Thanks in advance F.D. _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
