Hi,
 
    I always seem to have this problem when I don't flush the
master boot record. In addition, if I want to install Mandrake
on a SCSI drive and I also have IDE drives, the LILO function
tends to do the same thing as Lee points out. It would be nice
to know why it is doing so, even though I have figured out my
own workaround, just to understand. Any advice; thanks.
 
Best Regards,
  Chris Haidinyak

Subject: [expert] boot trouble

I just upgraded to a MSI K7T266 Pro with 1.3 GHZ Athlon and 512MB DDR RAM. LILO won't boot. I get "LI" and it hangs. An FAQ suggested that /sbin/lilo be executed from a boot disk to correct the problem. I did that and it still won't boot. So, I decided to reinstall 8.1. I still have the problem. Any solutions or recommendations?
