lilo problems in 9.1
I can't boot my computer when I'm installing lilo to root (single boot to Linux with boot partition set to root with cfdisk). This should be the safest installation according to the documentation. Only MBR works.
It is also impossible to install a new lilo from the command line with /sbin/lilo as described in the Slackbook. I get error msgs like;
part_nowrite: read:: Input/output error
Fatal: volid read error
Using liloconfig is the same, - tells me that lilo can't be installed and that I need to boot from floppy, but apparently nothing has changed. I can still boot from HD.
The only thing that works is to install Linux from scratch, selecting automatic lilo config, and put it in MBR.
Any ideas?
