Hi all, I am not a current emeber of this list so could you cc answers to me (gtm@oracom.com). Thank you.
I am trying to load linux 2.0.35 on to a DEC Personal Workstation 300i. The load goes fine (I am using S.U.S.E 5.3) but when I finish and try to boot from the drive LILO hangs at LI. I have read a lot about why that happens and nothing seems to work. I have added the disk geometry into lilo.conf and reran lilo. I did this in the global section with DISK= and HEADS= SECTORS= CYLINDERS=. When I do this I get L 04 04 (continuing for ever) and when I have no geometry it hangs at LI. This is a 4 gig Western Digital EIDE drive. Any advice would be great.
Thank you all
