[ilugd]: lilo problem

[Dheeraj Anand]

I had RedHat 7.1 installed on a system with CPU 166MHz, SIS6215 (512 KB),128 MB (100MHz) RAM and 20 GB harddisk and BIOS is AWARDS. Now due to slow speed of X on  RedHat 7.1, I installed RedHat 6.2 on it (I did not formatted the system). Now LILO is crashed. I tried to boot it with RedHat 7.1 bootable floppy, and it did boot. and I recomplied the lilo (by issuing 'lilo') and it just complied it and gave a warning, cylinder limit exceds 1024 cylinders. To over come that I chaged the 'liner' in lilo.conf with 'lba32' and again compiled it and now the lilo does not complied..... may be due to latest version of lilo (come with redHat 7.1) on RedHat 6.2 Now what to do, to escape from formatting whole 20 GB (it also has a WINNT server partition).   Dheeraj
