LILO hangs..."LIL-"
After doing a re-install, LILO hangs at bootup...LIL- is all that comes
up. I have tried to go into /etc/lilo.conf but it won't let me
in...permission denied. I am using BootMagic to dual boot and I have no
problems getting into windows. The first time I did the install I had
LILO directed to hda6(my ext2 linux partition). Something went wrong
with the second install. Now that I think about it, I do not remember
seeing the screen which asked where to put LILO. I completely redid my
install instead of using already made partitions, however, swap went to
hda7(like the first install) and Linux went to hda6(like the first
install). Please tell me what to do. Also, during my setup it
automatically loaded xwindows instead of giving me a command line. What
should I do to get to the command line at bootup, instead of having
windows come up immediately. I guess this happened when I chose the
dialup machine(games, x, etc.). Thanks for all your help. Ray Ferrari
