I installed RedHat Linux from the CD. But now all I get is is a "L" prompt at boot time.

what happened?

I have moved your thread to it's own 'new' thread as it was more appropriate than sticking it in the middle of someone else's.

Cool

Try booting from the rescue disk if you created one
or boot the CD into rescue mode
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...mode-boot.html

Try running
/sbin/lilo

If you've got LILO installed on a partition - you might want to install it to the MBR instead:

When your'e able to get to a shell: - su to root user

kedit /etc/lilo.conf

look for the

boot=

directive at the top

change it to

boot=/dev/hda

then as root user again

/sbin/lilo

this will install LILO to the MBR

(just an idea)
