Ok, but what should I do now? How can I make a "valid boot signature" to

Grab a recent copy of lilo (in the 21-x series). This includes support
for LBA32 extensions which allow LBA32 compliant computers to boot above
1024 cylinders. Then, all you need to do is run lilo -L or you can edit

Looks like your lilo.conf is wrong. There should be a line saying lba32
in there. man 8 lilo for more information.

This may or may not work for you, but I've always had luck making a small
(15mb) partition for /boot at the front of the disk and just letting it go from
there. Lilo seems to love it no matter the hard disk size... maybe that will

You may have to add the table=/dev/hda as shown below.
Also be sure that the Win98 partition is set active. You can check/set

Hi,
I did it according to Your advice. It worked fine.
So I can recommend this lilo.conf file to the others who have got
dos on the 'first' (=C in dos) hardisk
and
linux on the 'second' harddisk.

Which could have been restored with 'lilo -u'.

I had the LI problem on the first install of Linux. I believe that for me
it occurred because my Linux boot partition was too far (>500MB) from the
master boot block. In that case, a boot floppy worked instead.

Hi Stephen,
I worked it out. :-)
I really did not understand what was required which was why I needed help.
It worked when I used rdev on the kernel *and* copied the kernel to be
used with the Linux on hdb to /boot on hda.
A friend had arrived with two computers with three drives between them
Yes.
Below is a copy of a lilo.conf file.
If your machine boots successfully you could ignore the disk sections. I
use these because my bios can't see drives bigger than 2.1G and drive hdc
is 2.5G.
Good Luck,
Stephen

The boot should be /dev/sda. The LI is a symptom of a geometry
mismatch that adding "linear" to lilo.conf usually fixes.
The message about the disk not being the first disk is just a
warning as some BIOSes don't provide support for booting from other
than the first disk.

I did what you suggest below, and when I ran lilo, I got the following
message:
Warning: /dev/sda is not on the first disk

And on boot, it again froze at

Thanks again... Any other suggestions?

Hi. Look over the documentation for mbr in /usr/doc.
mbr is a configurable master boot record that replaces
the original on the hard disk drive. In order to change
the boot parameters and display, you must change the
defaults in the source file and re-assemble the code
to be inserted as a new mbr
wait the the Lilo prompt, then press shift. It gives you a few seconds
before it automatically boots your default setting.

The prompts you are referring to aren't LILO prompts. When you run
liloconfig
LILO isn't installed as the master boot loader on your system another
program
is (I can't recall the name of the program that is used, but look thru
the
