SubjectRe: LI Then Hangs

} I'm trying to install Linux (RedHat 6.0) on an HP Ventra XU 6/150. When I
} get past the BIOS starting stuff, it stalls only printing LI on the
} screen. I've run lilo a number of times and it seems to get the correct
} lilo.conf file (lilo, version 0.21). I've checked the FAQ in
} /usr/doc/FAQ, it says that I might have to place the whole root directory
} within the first 1023 cylinders. The / directory is on a 100M partition
} and the whole disk is only 1G. The disk is SCSI. I've updated lilo to the
} newest one RedHat seems to have and it didn't help.
}
} Any clues?
}
Discovered the problem. Apparently, the machine was shipped with SCSI
set to allow DOS to access disk drives > 1GB in area. This had to be
disabled in the SCSI configuration subsection during booting.

It would seem as if this is a potentially big problem. I didn't find it
in the docs. I hope to have more information on it so that I could write
something up, maybe...
