I have set up a Linux From Scratch system on a 1.2Gb Maxtor hard drive. It
works fine on my two Athlon systems, but when I put the drive in my Pentium
100, the system results in "L 40 40 40 40 40 40..." before showing the Lilo
menu.
My Lilo.conf contains the "lba32" entry which should mean this would work,
but it doesn't.
Any ideas?
Regards,

1. LILO saying "L 40 40 40 40 40 40..."
Hello everybody,
I've just installed Debian Woody on an old 486 to set myself a firewall,
and when it starts, lilo only says:
L 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 .... (...and lots of "40"'s more)
I have to start with a boot disk. The boot disk uses SYSLINUX and works
fine.
I've read somewhere that that error code (40) means that there's a hard
disk geometry problem, but I think that geometry is OK as it is
perfectly auto-detected by the system BIOS (exactly as the label on the
disk says).
The disk is using LBA and LILO is set with the "lba32" flag.
I don't have a /boot partition, but LILO is supposed to work fine with
LBA disk's, isn't it?
What can that error exactly mean?
Thanks a lot.
Cruinne.
