I've installed and ran Mandrake 6.1 just fine before, so I decided to
upgrade to 7.0 and that's where trouble started:
First, when I designated the root directory in the partition setup of
the installation, I got this message:
The partition you've selected to add as root (/) is physically located
beyond the 1024th cylinder of the hard drive, and you have no /boot
partition. If you plan to use the LILO boot manager, be careful to add a
/boot partition.
And near the end when it was trying to install LILO, I got this
message:
Installation of LILO failed. The follow error occurred:
geo_comp_addr: Cylinder number is too big (1343 > 1023)
Can anyone explain to me this, and a way around it?
And to another problem I had during the install was configuring my
network adapter. I have a Netgear NE2000 compatible card but when I
select "NE2000 and Compatible" and trying to autoprobe it, I get the
follow message:
Loading Module NE2000 and compatible failed.
Any reason and workaround for this problem?
Thank you!
