i just re-built my debian system from the disk image, and i'm having the same problem i had before i rebuilt it -- it hangs at "LI" when trying to boot from the hard disk. I can boot from the emergency floppy just fine though.
Apparantly it's complaining that there is no active boot partition, but it states quite clearly in the lilo.conf file that boot=/dev/hda1 (and yes, i did re-run lilo just to be sure). I also made sure that cfdisk had /dev/hda1 flagged as "boot". the disk doesn't appear to be bad because the other partitions are working fine. i noticed that /dev/hda1 wasn't being mounted in fstab, but obviously it would need to be accessed earlier. the cfdisk info is: hda1 boot primary linux ext2 8.23mb does it have anything to do with how lilo was installed on the system? any help appreciated! thanks, rory
