Help! Hang on boot, with letters LI

[Brian Boonstra <boonstb@cmg.FCNBD.COM>]

Hi

	I can no longer boot into Debian!  I installed IE5 in my WinNT  
partition, and after that Lilo would boot WinNT at the prompt, but hang on  
trying to boot Linux.  Then after some fiddling it broke completely, giving  
me the letters LI (in the same position as I previously saw a whole LILO  
prompt), and the system hung.
	I reckoned Lilo was the problem, and installed a different boot  
loader (PQBoot from Powerquest).  Now I can still boot into WinNT, but if I  
try to boot Linux, I get the same LI hang I had when Lilo was the boot  
loader.



	I tried booting off the CD, activating my partitions, and  
reinstalling LILO, but it win't install.  I then tried to create a boot  
floppy, and I can't do that either.


	I have a 7.5 GB SCSI system with 4 primary partitions.  In order  
they are: DOS, WinNT, swap, ext2.  I was running potato with a  
custom-compiled kernel that I had set up with dpkg-kernel.
