When I installed SuSE Linux 7.3, I chose to write LILO to my boot partition /dev/hda3 during the installation process. This was OK, and Linux now boots from /dev/hda3. However, I now need to re-write LILO to the /dev/hda3 boot partition. But whenever I use YaST2 to try to do so all that I get is an error message saying "Could not write the LILO boot sector". I have no idea WHY YaST2 cannot write LILO to my /dev/hda3 partition. However, it seems that this is not just a problem with this particular destination partition but rather a problem with writing LILO to ANYWHERE -- because YaST2 refuses to write LILO to a floppy either. (i.e. if I try to create a boot floppy with YaST2 I get an error message saying "Could not write the LILO boot sector to the floppy. Please check that the floppy disk is formatted [it is] and that the write protection tab is removed [it is]". Any ideas as to how I might go about investigating what is wrong?
