4 months later and still cant boot "LI.."

[BigCletus]

What does a guy have to do to get this thing to boot from the HD! I can boot from floppy fine, but that is it. Otherwise i get the infamous "LI". I have read and read and read somemore about this and I still cant figure it out. What am I doing wrong? Here is my lilo.conf:


append="ide2=0xb000,0xb402 ide3=0xb800,0xbc02"

disk=/dev/hde #first disk for winme, win2k
bios=0x80
disk=/dev/hdg #hdg1 is below the 1024 limit
bios=0x81
#lba32
#append="ide2=0xb000,0xb402 ide3=0xb800,0xbc02"
boot=/dev/hdg1

map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
linear
default=linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hdg6
append="hdc=ide-scsi"


its pretty messy but it doesnt even work so who cares. My system consists of 2 HD's on a promise ata/100 controller card, first disk has fat32/ntfs (winme, win2k). Second disk is linux (hdg1, hdg6). I have NTLDR boot the os' with the linux bootsect.lnx on c:\. Lilo is installed on hdg1 boot sector. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or ideas. Thankyou in advance.

Did it every work? If so what changed that it broke?

...soon after posting I played with it more and now it actually works. Its a miricle. Not sure exactly which setting that i changed fixed it, but as long as it works, I dont care either.
