= Maybe you have changed from LBA to non-LBA or back?
------------- 1st question: Would DOS still run when, when he switched LBA mode? No, because this changes the C/H/S-mappings. (But maybe he did fdisk /mbr from floppy-booted-DOS). ... If LILO hangs after LI, it failed to load the second part of the bootup-code.
2nd question: What is the status of Linux' Unicode implementation. Will Linux be prepared for the first contact?
