Try adding the line `lba32' to lilo.conf, and then re-run lilo.

lilo 'Block move error 0xAE'

2001-06-10 Thread Norman Walsh
Can anyone help me get past this error? Google search didn't turn
up anything useful. Lilo can boot my Win98 partition and I can boot
the relevant kernel off a floppy, but attempting to boot Linux from
the hard disk produces 'Block move error 0xAE'.

Help?

Be seeing you,

I don't know what the error message means but...
When you run -
# /sbin/lilo
are there any errors?

Does the output of -
# rdev
match what you have in /etc/lilo.conf?

Nope.

My /etc/lilo.conf is:

# Specifies the boot device.  This is where Lilo installs its boot
# block.  It can be either a partition, or the raw device, in which
# case it installs in the MBR, and will overwrite the current MBR.
#
boot=/dev/hda

# Specifies the device that should be mounted as root. (`/')

root=/dev/hda5

# Installs the specified file as the new boot sector

I think so:
