Re: LILO locks

Normally that happens when your physical hdd configurations have changed or
when somthing else like a bootsector has fouled up.

Create linux "resuce"  boot disks from the redhat cd.
Boot off the rescue disks then mount your linux partition and fix lilo.conf
.

BTW.... next time, post in "plain text" not HTML, youll get more replies.

Hi
Can anyone tell, why my computer locks during booting, when trying to run
LILO. It displays LI and then dies before being able to finish the word
LILO?
I am using Red Hat 6.0 distribution which is included in the APC Linux
Pocketbook.
My guess is, that somehow Master Boot Record was damaged during installation
and now I can not run Linux nor Windows any more.
What can I do to rectify the problem?
