All,
I am trying to install Linux Mandrake 7.2 from the auto-install floppy for
replication. It is actually the same machine that initially installed from,
and I reboot and attempt the automated install. The auto-install appears to
run through smoothly. When I reboot is when the problem appears. The lilo
prompt is just "LI". I refered to the LILO docs and their explanation of this
error is as follows:
"The first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot loader,
but has failed to execute it. The can either be caused by a geometry mismatch
or by moving /boot/boot.b without running the map installer." The geometry
mismatch doesn't seem to fit, because it is the exact same machine with the
exact same partitions. The second sounds more reasonable in that perhaps the
Mandrake installation application is forgetting to run the map installer or
is not installing the /boot/boot.b file.
Any recommendations as to how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
