Description hjl 2002-03-22 00:02:48 UTC 
I did a fresh workstation install with LILO on a machine with hda and hdd over
NFS.  The
machine stopped at the boot disk creation menu. I could ping the box, but
nothing else. When I
pressed the reset button, I got

L

after reboot.  For some reason, LILO won't boot from /dev/hdd1.
Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2002-03-22 19:54:24 UTC 
What was your filesystem/partitioning scheme over the two drives?
Comment 2 hjl 2002-03-22 22:18:18 UTC 
The LILO problem is a BIOS issue. But the machine stops seems related my
console login problem. That is after machine comes up, I can't login from
console anymore.  GDM and ssh work fine.
Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2002-03-25 21:40:12 UTC 
We'd need the partitioning info requeseted to see why it hangs at the end of the
install.
Comment 4 hjl 2002-03-25 22:50:29 UTC 
Please ignore the LILO part. I have determined that it is a BOIS issue.
I just need to change the OS in BIOS from DOS to OTHER.
