You could try hitting esc at the lilo menu and typing linux noapic and see if that helps. Sis chipsets can have trouble with I/O APIC. If that works, add it (just the noapic, not the linux part) to the append line in lilo.conf and rerun lilo to make the change permanent.I am not very sure about what hardware is in this box but IIRC it is an ECS motherboard using the SIS 630 chipset (integrated everything), and a Radeon 7200 pci video card.
I am grasping at straws here but...could I have messed up the install by leaving my /home parititon from mdk9.1 unformatted?
P.S the old_linux-non-fb entry in the lilo.conf is from the 1st try install of 9.2. When it didn't work I tried to do an upgrade to see if I had done something wrong during post install configuration.
Thank you for your help.
Joe.
Thanks for the suggestions Greg. I did a full format of my drive (cleaned out that OTher OS entirely), reinstalled, and this time it works. Still a few little things that aren't working quit right but hopelfully I can figure it out. If not I know where to find the most helpfull group of people on the net :-) Thanks again for trying. Joe.
