[CLUE-Tech] LILO Boot Problem

[Randy Arabie]

I'm building a box to replace my old 486 based DSL
Gateway/Firewall/Router.

MB: FIC PT-2003
Proc:	Intel P133
Bios:	Award Bios (2A59CF0H)
HD:	Western Digital 1.0 GB (2100 cyl, 16 head, 63 spt)

The bios detected the HD properly in NORMAL mode, not LBA.

I've got debain (woody) installed.  I'm using LILO (debian's default
boot loader) and I'm not sharing the disk with any other OS.  However,
LILO hangs when reading the MBR and I get:

L 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 (......)

I've tried editing /etc/lilo.conf and either removing or adding the
lba32 line in the vmlinuz stanza, but that doesn't seem to work.  Oh,
yes...I have rerun the lilo command after editing /etc/lilo.conf ;)

So, right now I'm booting the thing with a floppy, which is ok for the
the moment.  I can continue my installation and configuration of
packages.  But, I do want to eliminate that.

Anyone got any advice?

I am planning on going to installfest on Saturday.  If I don't have this
figured out by then I'll bring the box with.
