Please see http://www.ipcop.org/1.3.0/en/install/html/LILO-errors.html In particular, in section B.1.2: 0x01 "Illegal command". This shouldn't happen, but if it does, it may indicated an attempt to access a disk which is not supported by the BIOS. Maybe grub will work better? -- Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
