Joseph, Our confusion I believe is that Bios only reacts and prints to the screen before you get to lilo... This is what tells the box what OS to boot to. Or are you using some kind of BIOS based bootloader other than Lilo? Or are these errors appearing after Lilo or whatever your bootloader is. I'm not questioning your findings just that the description you give is a tad confusing. If It occurs in BIOS then at that point it is entirely BIOS (Remove your hdd and you can still boot to BIOS on many mobo's then you get the error no OS found...) BUT if the error is occuring after Lilo selection of the OS... this is strange. However I've learned never say never in computers. (I have ram that doesn't like one of my computers.... It works in 5 others and tests good with memory testing software, but it won't work in one box. *sigh*) So if you would please could you clarify the confusion... and someone here hopefully can help.
