I have been running Linux on a Thinkpad 755C (DX2/50) and a 540 Meg HD on for about a year. I recently purchased a "large" 1.08 gig HD and have installed Linux on in a small "boot/rescue" partition (/dev/hda2) which lies "below 500", but I have been unable to get LILO to work. I can of course boot from floppy. It is the case that /sbin/lilo installs lilo, but when I try to boot with LILO, I get LI and then the system hangs. My /etc/lilo.conf file is ########################################################################### # LILO configuration file # # Start LILO global section boot = /dev/hda delay = 80 install = /boot/boot.b #Stanza for booting on /dev/hda2 image = /vmlinuz label = vmlinuz root = /dev/hda2 vga = normal # force sane state read-only append = "floppy=thinkpad" #Stanza for booting dos on /dev/hda1 other = /dev/hda1 label = dos table = /dev/hda ########################################################################### ccording to fdisk, the HD geometry is 2362,15,60 Would anyone know what I need to do to get LILO to work with the larger HD? Thanks in advance. - Allen Moy
