Does S.u.S.E. use anoother version of LILO than RedHat? The reason I ask is that I installed RedHat on a IBM Thinkpad 760XL, no problem. But then I would try S.u.S.E. 5.1, and then LILO only get as far as 'L' and then hangs. I don't know what that implies (except it's a hardware problem). But when LILO from RHL 5.0 works, why not LILO from S.u.S.E. 5.1?
Now I start it through DOS and loadlin, works OK, but still...
S.u.S.E. uses the same lilo as Red Hat (possibly a differnt version from release to release) but this *Should* make no difference. Checnk out the Lilo howto and you'll find that lilo as it load tells you where it is via the number of letters you see in the word lilo... I can't remember the details, but l means on thing, li another lil a third and lilo means the loader executed correctly. In the past, if I had just an L from lili at the command com, I believe there were problems with the hard drive geometry, I'd start there first. best of luck -- W.J.
