Woody to Sarge breaking LILO?



To my frustration, upgrading a server over 200 miles from me remotely has failed. The dist-upgrade worked just fine, and then I decided to reboot it. A few minutes later attempts to contact the machine failed, ping timeouts, ssh timeouts, etc etc.

I contacted someone who is at the location to tell me what they see on the computer's console, all they see is LI_ with the _ blinking. This tells me that LILO started, and never finished.

Has anyone else had any problems related to this? And what did you do? I understand I will more than likely have to go to the location. What gets me is I tested this on a mirror machine, and this problem didn't happen...

Looking for suggestins,
Clinton
