From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0b; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: The follwing error window appears after I install the custom version of Linux 7.1 Server edition: An error occured while installing the bootloader We highly recommend you make a recovery boot floppy when prompted, otherwise you may not be able to reboot into Red Hat Linux. The error reported was: Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible Warning: device 0/0802 exceeds 1024 cylinder limt Fatal: sector 17494785 too large for linear mode (try 'lba32' instead) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Linux 7.1 from CD, using custom install 2.Install LILO on first sector of the boot partition 3. Actual Results: The error description appeared during post-config after install was complete. Inserted floppy when prompted; boot, initrd.img, LSLINUX.SYS, syslinux.cfg, vmlinuz created on floppy. Using System Commander Deluxe 5.05 (current edition), I select "boot from Floppy" option. Linux attempts to load from floppy but fails. Expected Results: Ability to boot from LILO. From system Commander Deluxe 5.05, choose Linux instead of boot from floppy. Additional info: Hardware includes 3 SCSI hards drives on two Adaptec Controller cards. Controller 1 is the AHA-2940 and has two SCSI drives The first drive is a Seagate 9 GB drive which has two partitions. The first is a 133 MB FAT 32 where System Commander/MBR is installed.
