 |

Hello after installation and configuration lilo I try to restart system.
But on screen I see only L 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 etc.
Does anybody know what is wrong?

This forum is for helping people not telling 'google for answer' .
u_peg,
Looks like you have a typo on lilo.conf , remove that disk=/dev/sda, and try again.[/code]

Hey,
I don't usually tell people for googling for answers. Furthermore, I did post some links that might contain an answer to the problem and if I recall correctly from the days I used LILO, the LILO error messages are very explanatory. You just need to know what error corresponds to the code. From the links I listed, I get the impression that the L99 error usually happens when someone forgets to install LILO in the MBR. |

Boot the livecd, mount the root and boot partitions, chroot and run /sbin/lilo. Post the output of that command.
