I now have to use a boot disk to start linux - not all bad
Updated to Lilo version 21.4.4
I am now trying to repair the lilo.conf file. When I run # /sbin/lilo, it appears to write to the mbr, but upon restart, nothing is changed?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!(Am i not writing to the MBR, if so why not?
I think so. The problem is that when I run /sbin/lilo it is not writing to the MBR, at all. I am stumped. There is a good chance that I am not writing it to the correct place, but it seems correct.
