RH8 boot hangs at LI
 
Hey everyone, have a problem...

Booting my Rh8 sys stops at LILO and just says 'LI'. I only have 1 hard drive, and RH8 is the only OS on there. Not dual booting or anything...

I've seen this happen before, its actually happend TO me before, but I can't remember for the life of me how to get past it. I found the answer here at linuxquestions.org but I can't seem to find it again (it'd be easier if you could enter 2 letter search strings :\ )

The only boot disk I have is a RH 7.2 floppy (which I believe is how I fixed it the first time), but I don't have my RH8 CD's either.

So anyway, help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

well judging by what you said, you have gotten around it before, but from my experiences, and whenever i have ever seen that, which was more than once, its always been a hardware problem..
could be pure coincidence, but thats with my experience..

naw im pretty sure its something i did, i was poking around in kde's control center and was changing some boot options, i obviously did something the sys didnt like. im pretty sure thats how it happened last time too.

but i still need to fix it! =)

I had that happen too, several times.
I switched to grub.

okay, how do i do that? i can get to a prompt using my 7.2 boot disk and linux rescue and then my 7.2 cd's, but the chroot command wont work (when i do chroot /mnt/sysimage it doesnt work)

??
