RE: Help: lilo wasn't able to install...
Michael,
I even tried two different drives. I have even low-level formatted both them
just in case there was some Micro$oft poop left on them. hahaha! My SCSI
adapter is an Adaptec 2940U2W with the latest 2.57.2 BIOS.
Yeah, I'm very confused. I have cfdisk'ed them and everything with no
problems. I don't have virus protection enabled in the BIOS (Dell GX110
A09). And since every other distribution of Linux installs but Debian...
sigh... it looks like a Debian compatibility problem with my system. :-(
Thanks,
/*Raj*/
