I can boot fine from a linux bootdisk, and from a dos bootdisk. Just when trying to boot from /dev/hda2 that it hangs. I've tried reinstalling lilo, uninstalling it all together, modifying lilo.conf, but nothing works. If its a hardware problem, why would my system work fine booting from a floppy and not from the harddrive? -- -Josh Co-Admin of California.ZUH.net (Azog) ..and always remember..."arf is god spelled funny." -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 Comments: www.geekcode.com GCS d---(pu) s+:- a16 C++>$ UL+++>$ P+ L+++ !E W-- N+++ o?
