Hi debs
I am unable to create a boot disk for my potato box. I just apt-got
kernel-image-2.2.17. :)
Then, in the process of installing the kernel-image deb file, I said
"yes" to take /etc/lilo.conf for setting up the boot disk. I also
chose to format the boot disk.
Here infos of my system:
-- /etc/lilo.conf --
boot=/dev/fd0
root=/dev/hdb3
#compact
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
delay=20
vga=normal
default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
# restricted
# alias=1
-- /etc/lilo.conf --
# ls -l /boot
total 2656

proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hdb1 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
When booting with the new boot disk, though, I get "L" and then zillions
of 0's and 1's. I then have to three-finger-salute the box. :(
I *want* kernel-image-2.2.17 to work particularly as I had no success in
building my custom 2.2.16 kernel. (The gettys got locked up and I got
lots of dumps in the logs)
Here is a snippet of that (2.2.16): (sorry for the horrid formatting)

Forgive me for reporting two problems at once here. :)
I'd _greatly_ appreciate any help!
TIA
