From: olson@unity.cs.umn.edu (Curtis L. Olson) Subject: LILO-0.10 Hangs Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1993 03:46:51 GMT
I am running linux 0.99.8 and attempted to installed LILO 0.10 Everything
appeared to work flawlessly during the installation -- no error messages or
any other signs of trouble. However, when I attempted to boot from my
harddrive, lilo got only as far as printing "LI" then appeared to hang.
I installed lilo with only the default /Image using QuickInst with all the
preset defaults (nothing fancy ...) Note: lilo-0.9 worked fine for me.
Any ideas?
Since I am already posting, I have another question. I cannot log in as
root from my first virtual console. The log in procedure appears to work
fine up to the point where the shell is started, then it hangs. All other
consoles (2 ... 8) work fine and I can still access them after the first
console hangs. Ordinary users can log in fine from the first console, but
if they log out, and then attempt to log back in, they have the same
problems as root. (Things appear to hang sometime near when the shell is
started.) Note, this problem disappears when I boot linux-0.99.8 from a
floppy disk.
Thanks for any help.
