LILO didn't support 1024+ cylinder when GRUB was out. It was a temporary solution for Caldea, I suppose. At any rate, LILO has had +1024 cylinder support for prolly around 2 years now. I continue to use LILO, and only LILO because it just plain works. Back when Caldera thrust Grub on the worl

Thanks. What did you do with the MBR if you didn't let RH 7.3 do it? The RAID seems to be the culprit so I'll try LILO and see if it works (it will be a good learning experience). I could install a non-raid drive and use it but at this point I hate to do that. > On Sat, 02 Nov 2002 19:36:10

Thank you for the comments. I guess since I've only used Caldera till now that's why I thought LILO was being phased out. Info pages - yuck! I didn't realize GRUB was a GNU thing - I thought it was an evolution of LILO - the next step as it were. I'm like you on the info pages. As far as
