I'm running libranet version of debian potato. It uses the 2.2.14 kernel. I am
having a problem with lilo. My hard disk is a 15 gig with the following
partitions
/=2500 megs
/usr=5000mgb
/home=2500mgb
/var=1250mgb
the rest of the disk is just free space. When I run lilo I get the following
error:
debian:/home/dlm# /sbin/lilo
Fatal: geo_comp_addr: Cylinder number is too big (1046 > 1023)
debian:/home/dlm#
My bios supports large disk access, but when I try to reconfigure lilo to do
that, I get an error that it's unable to install to the boot block. How would I
edit my lilo config file to get lilo to boot from the hard disk? I even tried
installing and configuring a new kernel (2.2.16) and it worked fine up until I
ran bzlilo and I got an error 2 message, something about being unable to
install to the boot directory..
any suggestions?
thanks
