To my frustration, upgrading a server over 200 miles from me remotely

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.
Seems you simply forgot to run 'lilo' after upgrading. Boot from a
floppy disk or similar, run 'lilo' (or perhaps 'liloconfig') to upgrade
lilo.config and reboot. Worked for me before. :)
