Hallo all,
I have a problem with booting my fresh installed rh system.
Before I had lilo-21.4.4-25.1.i386.rpm installed, but I recieved an
error like something about cylinder 1024 (don't remember anymore). I
suppose that this error is due to the size of my hd. Now I've installed
the latest rpm I've found: lilo-22.5-1.rh90.test.i386.rpm, but it still
does not work. The system boots to L and then I see lots of 01.
My lilo.conf looks like this:
prompt
timeout=5
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda6
map=/boot/map
#install=/boot/boot.b
#message=/boot/message
lba32
vga=788
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.EL
label=linux
root=/dev/hda7
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.21-4.EL.img
read-only
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
My /boot contains these files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 12. Jul 13:56 boot.0306
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 12. Jul 13:52 boot.b ->

vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.EL
Is there any solution to this problem? What am I missing?
I'm booting my system from a 160GB disk and the BIOS will only see
8455MB, but I'm capable to boot another linux system which lies behind
the rh system on my hd with lilo, but it's lilo lilo-22.5.8-5. Is there
any newer version for fedora available? Or are the errors in my config?
Hope that someone can help me here.
Thanx in advance,
Andreas
