Folks,
I've installed RedHat 6.1 on a Prostar laptop. Most everything
works OK except it will not boot from the hard disk. It will boot
fine from floppy.
I've run LILO directly, LILO thought everything went OK. I took a
look at the first sector of /dev/hda, and it matched boot/boot.b .
There was something in the HOWTOs about a protected MBR, and check the
BIOS. But there is nothing in the BIOS that looked like it addressed this.
There was something else about a 1024 sector limit and the boot program.
This disk is 2Gb IBM, 4200 cyl x 16 heads x 63 sect. By my math, that
means a cylinder is 1008 sectors, so that should not come into play.
Who has a silver bullet for this problem?
Thanks,
- Chuck Collins
