Happy holidays everyone, I seem to have managed to break my boot loader. It's a strange problem that I'm having troubles wrapping my head around, so I hope someone on the list can help me out. Hopefully I can explain it properly. It seems to have started the other night when I tried to use the redstorm overclocking feature in my bios. It didn't work out as I rendered my system un-bootable. After playing with the bios for awhile I was able to get the boot loader to load, but if I selected the linux-enterprise kernel (Mandrake 9.2) Lilo would give me the following error: Error 0x01 0 - keytable read/checksum error However it can load the "linux" kernel in runlevel 5 and failsafe mode, but when I boot into runlevel 5 with that kernel none of my settings in the XF86Config-4 file are loaded and my display is all screwed up. I tried re-installing lilo with no success, and if I install Grub, it will not load at all giving my a Read Error while loading stage 2 or stage 1.5. The strange thing is that if I power down the machine for awhile then lilo will load the linux-enterprise kernel no problem, saying Bios Data Check Successful, but once I reboot the computer I get the error message again. As you can see it doesn't make sense to me. I've tried googling for a solution, but I've found nothing concrete although some of what I have found points to the bios sending incorrect hard drive parameters to the boot loader, so once again I think that I broke it by messing around in the bios. I really hope someone has some idea as to what is going on here.
