Hi,
After installing Slackware 3.2 my system hangs at "LI"
when booting.
I ran lilo, rebooted and I still hung at "LI". I then
rebooted with my lilo boot disk and at the # entered
'root=/dev/hda2' and re-ran lilo. Upon rebooting it
hung again at "LI".
This would mean problems with my disk geometry? Can
anyone point me in the direction of a fix?
When I run fdisk I get;
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 17 sectors, 873 cylinders
Device boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 1 61 8287+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda2 62 62 873 110432 83 Linux
native
When I run free I get;
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2540 2276 264 1448 68 772
-/+ buffers: 1436 1104
Swap: 8280 636 7644
The lilo.conf file looks like this;
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda2
#compact #faster, but won't work on all systems.
# delay = 5
vga = normal # force same state
# ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda2
label = Linux
read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted
read-only for checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
This is a brand new install and I haven't touched a thing
yet. Need anything else to help me?
Thanks,
Tom
