Maybe someone on the list has seen "FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077" before
and knows what to do. I did a quick search of the archives and on the
web. Couldn't find anything definitive. Just to make sure you did edit
/etc/lilo.conf to reflect your new kernel configuration and run
/sbin/lilo didn't you? What messages surround the line "FDC 0 is a
post-1991 82077"?
