Re: system reboots before booting
Sorry if anyone got spam filter messages from me, I was playing with my
webmail filters while trying to figure out my boot problem. This is copied

As best I can tell lilo isn't actually running. When I execute a shell
program and then try to run lilo using: lilo -r /target
I get the following error: sh: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_PRIVATE'
not found (required by /target/lib/libc/so.6). I get the same message if I
use lilo (with out the -r /target bit).
I guess this means my installed libraries don't match the CD's requested
libraries?
