Hello, 

I just changed from suse-linux to debian. My installation is simmilar
to the yours, only that my first hd has 1233 cylinders. If i start
linux i get an :
LILO
UNCOMPRESSING KERNEL....OK LOADING LINUX

and than it hangs.

I don't realy know if this is because i´am over the 1024 Cyl. limit,
because on Suse-linux it works fine.

Can you give me some tips ??

Thnaks, Daniel
