just picked up a mandrake 6.1 CD.  im usin' an IDE-only, x86 system with my primary 
IDE channel containing win98 on the master and a CD-ROM on the secondary. the 
secondary master w/o a slave is 6.4GB drive that i'm placin
g linux on.

i ran it through the install.  all the normal options for a workstation.  chose not to 
make a boot disk, just install lilo in the MBR and choose between dos and linux at 
boot. everything went beautifully as it should, but
 i restart and when lilo shoulda popped up asking which label i'd like to boot, it 
streamed an infinite amount of string-literal '01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01'.

hmm.  that's a bad thing.  so i try the install again.  this time i choose 
'everything' as far as packages, make a boot disk, and install lilo to the MBR again.

lilo does the same thing at reboot. crap, so I try the boot disk.  lilo 
actually shows me a prompt, but when it tries to boot the label 
'linux', it starts uncompressing the kernel, but before it outputs any 
of the periods used somewhat like a status bar, it outputs 'Error 
0x02' and quits.

i've successfully installed redhat 5.1 and 5.2 on this machine with 
no problems with lilo.  recently added a new hard drive, though, the 
primary master.

any ideas?
