Something of similar nature happened to me, except I got as far a LI. You
can try to look up what happens, as LILO does something upon each character.
Here's two things you can try that worked for me..
1. in lilo.conf, before anything else, add: lba32
Then run lilo and see how that goes.
2. Go into your BIOS, and for your Sandisk CF, manually DISABLE the LBA.
Let me know how it goes
Cheers,
Sam

Subject: Sandisk boot problems
Hello everyone,
I've been trying (and failing) to get linux booting
off of a 16 meg san disk card. (It's recognized by the
bios as a SunDisk.)
I'm using lilo, and if I tell it to use lba32, when
booting, I see a L followed by 02 02 02...
If I turn off lba32 all I get is an L.
I fdisked and formatted the card with an ext2
filesystem.
Any ideas what this is indicative of?
My lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hdc
root=/dev/hdc
install=/mnt/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
image=/mnt/boot/vmLinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hdc1
read-only
This sandisk came out of a Siemens PC, and it had
linux on it at one time, it was sold as a 'net'
workstation, so I know that the card was able to boot
it at one time.
Thanks for any help, regards,
-Pete
