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
-Jesse-

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..
