I'm trying to use lilo as the standalone bootloader for my system. I have installed lilo in the MBR of /dev/hda using the command: 'lilo -b /dev/hda' This is my lilo.conf: # Begin /etc/lilo.conf image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19 label=lfs root=/dev/hda1 read-only #End /etc/lilo.conf My system will not boot at all, I get the lilo prompt then a message saying 'decompressing kernel...' and then it reboots. What have I forgotten to do? _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
