Re: Lilo ?

["Robert L. Harris" <Robert.L.Harris@rnd-consulting.com>]

I had the same problem.  Basically what happened is I had
one version of lilo on /dev/hda that pointed "dos" to /dev/hda1,
but I had accidently installed lilo on /dev/hda also, pointing
to /dev/hda1, so I had a nice little loop going.

Try and do "lilo -u" against both /dev/hda and /dev/hda1, then
re-install against just /dev/hda and see how it goes.
