LILO only says LI 01 01 01 01...



Hi!

I tried switching from a IDE to a SCSI disk.  I copied everything
(except proc) to the new disk using tar, edited the new fstab
and lilo.conf, and typed 'lilo -r /mnt'.  Here's what lilo said:

ide: probable bad entry for /dev/hdc
ide: to fix it, run:  /usr/src/linux/scripts/MAKEDEV.ide
Warning: /dev/sda7 is not on the first disk
ide: probable bad entry for /dev/hdc
ide: to fix it, run:  /usr/src/linux/scripts/MAKEDEV.ide
Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible
ide: probable bad entry for /dev/hdc
ide: to fix it, run:  /usr/src/linux/scripts/MAKEDEV.ide
Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible
ide: probable bad entry for /dev/hdc
ide: to fix it, run:  /usr/src/linux/scripts/MAKEDEV.ide
Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible
ide: probable bad entry for /dev/hdc
ide: to fix it, run:  /usr/src/linux/scripts/MAKEDEV.ide
Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible
Added Linux *

But all I have is hda, hdb and sda!  I tried remaking the
/dev/hd* (on the new drive) and even tried delete them.

Since Lilo only said "warning", I tried booting from the
new drive anyway, but all I got to see was:
LI 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 
0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1
0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1
...
This goes on and on until I press reset. :-(
I have no idea what's going on.  Can anyone help me please?

Thanks so much in advance!
 Andy.
