------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-26 06:06 ------- I've seen a similar problem with LILO, except instead of 99's I get 40's (i.e. L40 40 40 40 40 40... for several lines). I've seen this on several different computers that are completely different architectures (AMD's and Intels of various ages). Usually loading up the CD rescue disk and reinstalling the bootloader makes it work; sometimes I have to do that twice before it does. The only suspicious hardware that any of those computers share in common is a PCI UDMA/66 controller that comes with Maxtor 80G HD's, although I also have computers with that controller in it that have never had any lilo problems. With out lilo or anything, windows, of course, never has any problems booting---but I don't really care if windows boots. ;) Anyway, I've seen this off and on since around the Mandrake 8.2 time frame. I've also had (on the same computers) GRUB occasionally fail in a similar way (it writes "GRUB" then nothing, and hangs). ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Hardware Motherboard: Asus A7N8X Deluxe (w/ SATA) and nVIDIA geForce2 chipset Error: I was able to get through a complete install of linux-mandrake 9.1 beta 3. However, when I reboot my system and Lilo is attempting to load, all I see on the screen is the letter "L" and a pattern like this: L99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99... etc It repeats the 9's for like 5 or 6 lines. Any clues? P.S. - virus protection on board is turned off.
