Very Computer

I'm installing Rad Hat now
after the installation , It reboot and load LILO ..
but It stop with " LI " when loading LILO .
what is it ??
how to solve ?????
THX very much : )

1. Redhat is my favorite distribution.
2. Slackware has good bootdisk
(ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Slackware/Slackware-7.0/...
ks.144/bare.i
(you could use rawrite included with redhat (dosutils) to write this file to
a floppydisk)
3. LI means the loader has started, and no LO means it can't find linux...
4. Use the bootdisk to get into linux, (at the lilo prompt enter : [mount
root=/dev/hda1] (1 being the partitionnumber you installed the rootdirectory
on, try any number between 2 and 8 if that fails) and login as root
5. do a [cat /etc/lilo.conf] to check...
or edit lilo.conf and check in /boot/ if there is a file named the same as
in the conf-file,
( [vi /etc/lilo.conf] to edit, [i] to go to insertmode so you can type [ESC]
to go to commandmode [d][arrow-right] to delete input, [:][w] to write
[:][q] to quit)
My entry for linux is :
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hda8
6. then type [lilo] to update the bootloader with this file and you should
have a valid lilo again.

well, it seems that your lilo has starting problems. just put the command
'linear' in the first line of your /etc/lilo.conf, that should hopefully
solve your problem.

linear           # try "linear" in case of geometry problems.
boot = /dev/hda   # or your root partition
delay = 10        # delay, in tenth of a second (so you can interact)
vga = 0           # optional. Use "vga=1" to get 80x50

image = /boot/vmlinux  # your zImage file
        root = /dev/hda1     # your root partition
        label = Linux        # or any fancy name
        read-only            # mount root read-only
