Updating sid. A screen is presented at Lilo. Did I want Lilo to access the HDD as LBA? This was mentioned as probably desireable.
Now I reboot. The boot process begins. After the BIOS readouts, up comes Lilo. But no! THis is what I see: LIL then a pause. Then continuing: LILLinux02 ^^^ Now the machine goes berzerk. The drive starts thrashing/clicking. [A friend tells me there are now viruses that can attack the hard drive this way.] I will try to install a new boot record using install disks from Testing. Meanwhile, does this ring a bell? Alan Davis
