lilo prob.. "LI"

Something completely different:

I had the same problem and the trouble was that I had the HDD wrong in my bios. Win would load fine, booting from the SuSE disk worked, but Lilo hang at the LI prompt.

I suggest you have a look at your bios settings just to make sure they're right.

Make your lilo.conf file look like the one below.

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/message
lba32
default=linux
prompt
timeout=50

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
append="hdc=ide-scsi"

other=/dev/hdb1
optional
label=dos
map-drive=0x80
to=0x81
map-drive=0x81
to=0x80

Then run /sbin/lilo.
