What does lilo.conf look like. Also tells us what your system is setup like? Is it all Scsi? Nick

So the next question is does the file /dev/hda exist? Have you checked? Your conf file looks fine to me. Nick

<bits cut> This should be the drive you want LILO to run off. Do you actually have a /dev/hda? I don't just mean physically... check your /dev directory, especially if you're doing this from within the LFS system, to make sure that there is a /dev/hda special file.
# image = /boot/lfskernel root = /dev/hdb
The /dev/hdb above should have a number after it, e.g. /dev/hdb1, unless you're using the whole drive, and even then you really should have some partitioning scheme (is it possible to forego the pleasures of partitioning?). This depends on which partition you have as your root partition (naturally).
label = lfs
