Hi, I have an old 486 that used to have linux on it. I had to reset the bios to clear the password and after that it would no longer boot. The lilo prompt comes up, then it says "Loading linux..." and then "Uncompressing Linux" and then it gives me one of a couple errors. Sometimes it says "crc error" sometimes it says "ran out of data" sometimes it just beeps and reboots, sometimes it says something about invalid compression. I have tried 3 different hard disks (200mb, 400mb, 550mb) and get the same results with all three. The bios (it is an amibios) can autodetect the hard drive correctly, and lilo & cfdisk see the drive geometry correctly. What else could be causing this? -Mark Ivey- -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
