Re: lilo problem
Looks like your lilo.conf is wrong. There should be a line saying lba32
in there. man 8 lilo for more information.

How would I edit my lilo config file to get lilo to boot from the hard disk? I even tried installing and configuring a new kernel (2.2.16) and it worked fine up until I ran bzlilo and I got an error 2 message, something about being unable to install to the boot directory..
