LILO & SCSI - L 80 80 80?

LILO & SCSI - L 80 80 80?

Post by The Nos » Sat, 04 Apr 1998 04:00:00



  We're trying to install Redhat 5.0 on a Micron P200 machine with an
Adaptec SCSI card. Every time we try and install LILO in the MBR of
target 0 (the boot drive) it seems like it installs but it when we reboot,
it always freezes up or spews garbage. The most amusing example we saw was
the one in the subjet line - "L 80 <10 second pause> 80 <10 second pause> 80"
etc...

  We've read many HOWTOs, including the SCSI, LILO, bootprompt, etc, but
none of them have provided any enlightenment. Does anyone have any
clues for us? Any idea why this is happening? Even, dare I hope, some quick
and easy way to fix it?

1. lilo L 80 80 80 80.....

I have bios that allows to specify what order the boot must be attempted in.
I have run lilo to install boot sectors on both /dev/hda AND /dev/sda
(I have a scsi and an ide disk in my box)

Whenever the boot order is ide then scsi the kernel boots

Whenever scsi is before ide in boot sequenece I get L 80 80
which 80 printed across the screen indefinitely.

What does this message mean?
