I wonder if your hard disk is too big. I mean the disk being too large for normal booting Windows gets around it with kludges and Linux (after booting can get around some of those issues without special kludges. I think lilo requires a starting address low enough to boot properly. Take a look at ide.txt in /usr/src/linux/Documentation for a brief explanation of some of this hard disk geometry stuff. -----Original Message----- From: Deedra Waters [mailto:dmwaters@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 12:25 PM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: a few things we tried this and that didn't work.
