Can't boot with full of 9A9A9A9A on the screen

Hello everyone!

I'm using Slackware 13.37 with software RAID 1 setup on VM. After a successful boot up,the system rebooted with 9A9A9A9A9A... on the screen and couldn't boot into system.

This message is displayed by a wrong configuration of LILO. Your system can't load the second stage boot loader (L) and the two-digit error codes (0x9A) indicate the type of problem. Check to see if you have the correct device for boot in /etc/lilo.conf using rescue process (boot your system with the Slackware install DVD or first CD using whatever kernel options you need to see your hard disk).

Thanks mfrias for your quick reply. I will look into that now.

P.S. I ended up re-installing it as it's a fresh install.
