RE: L 80 80 80 80, etc. on boot

["justin cunningham" <jcunningham@engine8.com>]

I've seen this/like posts before so checking the archives would be a
good bet.  From what I recall the simplest way to fix this is to use
deselect to uninstall/reinstall lilo.  I haven't done this b4 so I can't
say exactly though you may have to rm /etc/lilo.conf or mv to something
like lilo.old or else dpkg will complain.

My experience was getting a similar error from lilo on my workstation
win2k/woody.  I had lilo running fine; then; upgraded via apt-get
upgrade and got a like error.  I grabbed a 98 boot disk and fdisk /mbr
to get back to the win2k partition. 

Maybe one of these two statements will help.
