From: su9208@lu.erisoft.se (Staffan Ulfberg) Subject: Boot problem with LILO Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1993 12:21:52 GMT
I have booth MS-Dog and Linux installed on my hard disk,
and am using LILO to select operating system at boot time.
It has now happened twice that the text LIL- shows up
when booting my system. (And nothing more...).
I have fixed this by using a boot disk and rerunning
the lilo installation. After this, everything has worked
fine again. So, there is no panic, but I'd _really_
like to know what is going on in there.
Due to the README-file in the lilo directory
the "LIL-" message shows that there is a problem finding
the map file, and that this could happen if the map file
has been moved on the disk or anything. I'm sure I've
not been doing this since I have had no reason to be
playing around in the LILO directory after getting the
booting mechanism to work!
This is the config file I was using for LILO...
boot = /dev/hda
install = /etc/lilo/boot.b
delay = 20
compact
image = /Image
label = linux
root = /dev/hda5
vga=normal
other = /dev/hda1
table = /dev/hda
label = dos
I'm running on the SLS 1.02 package, using a 210 MB IDE
Connor hard disk.
