I can boot fine from a linux bootdisk, and from a dos bootdisk. Just when
trying to boot from /dev/hda2 that it hangs. I've tried reinstalling lilo,
uninstalling it all together, modifying lilo.conf, but nothing works. If its
a hardware problem, why would my system work fine booting from a floppy and
not from the harddrive?
