Description Jeremy A Carlson 2000-02-27 14:10:15 UTC 
I originally installed Linux on an IDE hard drive. I later moved Linux
onto a SCSI IBM DNES-318350 hard drive with a Adaptec AHA2930U2 SCSI
controller. I created a boot floppy using lilo.  After removing the IDE
hard drive I rebooted the machine with the floppy. Lilo never loaded, but
instead I got a series of 1 0 1 0 ... I reinstalled my hard drive and
booted from the floppy and lilo loaded correctly.

I have an EPOX EP-MVP3G2 system board.
Comment 1 Jeremy A Carlson 2000-02-29 17:02:59 UTC 
CORRECTION: I do not recieve 0 1 0 1, I recieve 01 01 01 until I reboot.
Comment 2 Jeremy A Carlson 2000-04-16 16:40:59 UTC 
I downloaded, compiled, and installed lilo-21.4-2. Seems the problem is fixed.
