Hi:
After I successfully install LILO-0.7 , I can boot linux from my
SCSI HD but the X386 went wrong.
Every time when I startx the screen just pop some error message very fast
and then the system reboot itself.
I can barely see the error message but I think it's something like
general protection ...........
EIP ...........
EFLAGs .....
fs .........
...........
So I have to go back, and boot from floppy, and X works well.
I tried to install lilo in floppy, the same thing happy. And I remember
may be this problem has been asked in middle DEC 92'.
My config file is as following
----> boot = /dev/sda1
install = /etc/lilo/boot.b
image = /Image
label = linux
root = /dev/sda
vga = normal
ramdisk = 0
I've try to setup different vga type and ramdisk size but it didn't work.
The X server I used is XS3-0.3, and the vga card is Orchid Fahrenheit 1280
, 16 MB RAM and phonex BIOS.
Someone know what happen? Please help me to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.
By the way I found that the news posted before(the news number lower than
current news we can see) is sometimes very useful. Does someone know is there
any to get them ?
Thanks again
