===== Original Message From "Carley, Jason (Hong Kong)" <jason_carley@hk.ml.com> ===== Well I haven't yet gotten around to fixing my network problems. I am now trying to get my system to boot from either a disk or LILO on the hard drive.

It is an Abit KT-7 and the Drive is a slave (for historical reasons) behind a CDROM drive on the 1st IDE controller (not the RAID controllers which have a seperate windows installation on them).

I get the famous LI response from the bootloader. Now after looking this up in the docs and being told that it relates to disk geometry I am stumped. I am booting to a /boot all within the 1024 limit. The drive is properly detected and boots under other OSs. I get exactly the same problem whether I am using LILO on a boot disk or the hard drive. I even tried a reinstall using default partitioning in case something I did stuffed up the booting ability from the hard drive.

It boots fine from the Disk 1 CDROM.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jason.
