The thing starts acting up before I get to Lilo, but only after a Mandrake 8.2 or 8.2 Installer reboot. With Win2k reboots and 8.1 reboots, all is well in Lilo-land. Also when I shutdown and boot up, I get to Lilo easily, and can load 8.2 with no problems. Rebooting is the problem here, which is very inconvenient for me as a student needing to develop for both platforms.
It never reaches Lilo after rebooting 8.2/Installer. It just sits there after initializing my mouse trying to get to the HDDs. Waiting for a minute or so leaves the computer there, sometimes saying something is wrong with the system clock and preventing booting at all. I have had to kill it upon more than one occasion, only to see all my BIOS options had been returned to default. Like I said, shutting it down then turning it back on will stop the problem until I reboot again.
