Hmm, needed 2.4.3-pre1 and went to install with LILO using 'lilo -v' and got this:
LILO version 21.4-4, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger 'lba32' extensions Copyright (C) 1999,2000 John Coffman
Reading boot sector from /dev/hda Merging with /boot/boot.b Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2 Added linux * Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.3-pre1 Fatal: geo_comp_addr: Cylinder number is too big (1274 > 1023) Neato. I don't have time to dig through LILO source code right now, so here are my system specs:
Linux Distribution: RedHat 6.2 with all latest updates Hard Disk: Maxtor 52049H3 (20GB) IDE CPU: Dual PII-266MHz RAM: 256MB PC100 Result of 'fdisk /dev/hda -l':
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2491 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1513 12153141 83 Linux /dev/hda2 1514 1530 136552+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda3 1531 2491 7719232+ 83 Linux
I have no idea why the 1023 limit is coming up considering 2.4.2 and LILO were working just fine together and I have a newer BIOS that has not problems detecting the driver properly. Go ahead, call me idiot :).
