My Dell CPx also exhibits this condition, and goes a step further: after printing "LI" on the screen for about 1/4 of a second, it reboots, continuing this loop until I physically power the system down. Booting with a rescue disk, modifying lilo.conf, taking out "linear" and inserting "lba32", running lilo, and rebooting fixes the problem, but we really do need to fix the logic anaconda uses to make it's decision. I know there's got to be something in the BIOS we can hook into. Others are doing it. We can do it. Unfortunately, the bios doesn't always give the proper information. We always give you the option of manually enabling the option in newer releases, though and do a better job of detecting it by default. |
