 HELP! LILO does NOT boot!
Hi

I have been 'playing' with Linux (RH 6.x, and RH7) for some years now, but I
am in a trouble now.

This is happening to me for the first time:
RH7! I want to install it on a 15G HDD. I map /boot to a partition ~15M
(definitelly BELOW 1023 cyl!!), and then the rest.

IT DOES NOT BOOT!!!

But when I boot from windows/DOS using LoadLin then everything works fine.
Win/DOS boot normally!

Is it related to big HDD? So far I was using partitions <5G.

Thanks

emil

 HELP! LILO does NOT boot!

"it does not boot"  will not help diagnose the problem. you need to
tell what's on your screen when it refuses to boot.
just write a boot floppy and boot from there, and read LILO docs when
you get tired of the floppy.
