LILO damage. Computer dead.

LILO damage. Computer dead.

Post by CHRISTIAN D. ARMO » Wed, 28 Jul 1993 15:34:51



Oh man, I'm really cooked now.

I tried compiling the latest version of the kernel.  It
all went according to plan when  I thought it would be
smart to try a 'make zlilo'.  Interestingly, it booted
fine after this but only this one time.

Now, whenever I boot, all I get is this type of thing on
my screen... indefinitely

0.      00x00
1.      00x00
    .
    .
    .
254.    00x00
255.    00x00
0.      00x00
1.      00x00

(and so on...)

Does anyone know what the hell this is?  How can I get
lilo to fix this mess?  I really need my data!

help!

1. Dead Kernel & Dead LILO

HELP!!!   I recompiled the kernel with networking support, and it died
toward the end of the "make
zlilo" step.  I cant remember the exact error message, but I think it
was related to lilo, which is
done at the end of the make.  Now when booting, I get a message saying,
"run out of room  ----system
Halted-----" message.  
   An older kernel which worked at one time, gives the same message,
although I didnt save the older
System.map file which went with it, (my mistakeI guess this matters).
  I do not have a boot diskall I have is a MINIX boot and a rescue root
disk.  I can mount the hard
disk, however when I try to run lilo with the correct lilo.conf file, I
get a message that says, "Dont
know how to handle device 0x0100."  Ive tried a lot of different
things, to no avail.  At one time I
had a second hard drive which is now removed from the system, but is
also removed from the fstab file.
   What can I do without reinstalling the entire system???  Any help is
greatly appreciated.  
I have a:
Compaq DeskPro 6000 Pentium Pro-200
Adaptec 2940U
Jaz Drive internal SCSI
SCSI CD-ROM
3COM etherlink III
256 Mbyte Ram

THANKS, Tom
