bugcheck. It's needed - if the page had locked buffers here we'd do a
lock_buffer() inside spinlock.

1. LILO dies: L AA AA AA AA AA ...

Hi,

I tried installing RedHat 5.0 Linux on my Pentium Pro
PC, but ran into a problem on the LILO installation.

Here's my configuration:

Pentium Pro 200 MHz processor
64 megs RAM
S3/Virge VX 8 meg Video card
Adaptec SCSI card attached to CD-R drive
IDE configuration:
(1) master = 5 gig hard drive (C:, E:, F:)
slave = IOmega Zip drive (D:)
(2) master = CDROM drive
slave = 6.4 gig hard drive
Windows 98 (FAT32 on drives C:, E:, F:)

I got almost entirely through the installation.
I installed Linux on the 6.4 gig hard drive (hdd).
The only problem came up at the end, installing
the bootloader (in the master boot record).

The installation program said:

An error occurred during step "Install bootloader"
of the install.

I then selected "Previous" and it tried again,
producing the same error.

So the next time I tried "Retry" and it said "Congratulations"
and said everything was installed.

The problem, is now when I boot up, instead of getting
some LILO prompt, I get the following:

L AA AA AA AA AA etc...

That is, I see the letter "L", followed by a space and two "A"
letters. The double-A's emit at the rate of about one per second.

Hitting return, control-C, etc. has no effect. Only
control-alt-delete allows a reboot.

Now, I not only can't boot Linux, but I also can't boot
up Windows 98!

I did boot off of a Windows 98 boot floppy (and made sure
that C: was still there, it was, whew!) and tried to "sys c:"
to remove LILO, but that had no impact.

So I have some questions/pleas for help:

(1) Is there a way to make LILO work here? Have you
seen this problem before?

(2) Is there a way for me to remove LILO so I can
boot Windows 98 (off C:)?

(3) Do I need to resort to a boot floppy to boot
Linux? How would I make one?

Anxiously awaiting advice...
