Ok. I've been fighting an install of RH6.2 all day today, but can't for the life of me get linux to boot from the hd without a fd. argh The hard drive is a wdc 31200...CHS = 2484/16/63. (bios sees this fine) During the first install, I had two partitions, / and swap. Didn't work. Then I tried /, /boot, and swap. Still didn't work. I've tried various combos of partitioning. dmegs shows that the kernel saw the disk CHS as 621/64/63, even though I put append="hd=2484,16,63" in lilo.conf and running lilo. fdisk thinks that the disk is also 621/64/63, but printing the parition table shows that /boot (/dev/hda1) is below the 1024th cylinder (covers 1-6). I know that the 'new' lilo does away with the 1024 limit, but, unfortunately, the bios in this machine is much too old to meet the requirements for the new lilo. =( Any ideas? Even at 10M, ftp installs are too long. =) Thanks, Marco
