Very Computer

Hi...

I've had problems before on my computer before when trying to boot up
lilo it only gets to a certain point... where it displays "L" or "LI" and
then
jams.

I didn't know what was causing this problem, so I used to change my
machine configuration, and re-install Redhat.

Since then, a friend has told me that he's heard something about those
letters being a diagnostic. ie... if only L appears, then it means this, or
if LI appears then it means that...

Can anyone shed any more light on this? Is their a diagnostic message
within the letters that LILO displays?

TIA

Adam

Yes, it's in the lilo help files.

If you don't have a /boot partiton it mean the drive goes over 1024
cylinders or your /boot partition is over 1024 cylinders.
