Bill, Again, thanks for the info, but I don't have a problem with LILO during the normal install, but when the automated install runs, LILO doesn't work. I am trying to develop a build procedure for our servers, and that includes running a auto-install. If the auto install can't configure

I don't know if this is any help... but I have NEVER gotten lilo to work on my computer... ever. It ALWAYS dies at LI just as you've descibed. On the other hand... where LILO has never succeeded... GRUB has NEVER failed. 8-) Before grub came along I was always booting linux using "loadlin"
