LILO fails to install during Slackware 12.0 install
Hi guys. I'm new to Slackware and have had a little trouble installing 12.0. When I get to the bootloader installtion and try to install LILO to the MBR I get this error message:
Code:
Sorry but the attempt to install LILO has returned an error, so LILO has not been correctly installed. You'll have to use a bootdisk to start your machine instead. It should still be possible to get LILO working by editing the /etc/lilo.conf and reinstalling LILO manually. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
Check if your bios has mbr write/virus/bootsector protection enabled and disable it.

No, it appears to be disabled. Thanks for the advice though. I can't figure out for the life of me what might be causing this.
EDIT: Tried loading the installer again and it worked perfectly. Third time's the charm I guess. Sorry I can't post a better solution but I have no idea what the problem was. It just fixed itself. |
