Infinite Reboot
Just repartitioned my 4GB hard drive and copied all files (except /proc,
/dev, /usr, etc.) from root system that was previously on /dev/hda2 to
/dev/hda1.
Modified /etc/fstab to reflect changes. Modified lilo.conf then ran lilo.
On rebooting I never get a login prompt>> system reboots before giving login
prompt.
Also, df reports that /dev/hda1 is the size of /dev/hda2. What did I do??
lilo.conf>>
