Problem with the Installation of lilo 21.7!!

[novip]

Hi again.

I did the below procedure as slup told me
and everything showed that I would had a nice evening with success.

mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /win/c
cp /win/c/<path to downloaded LILO-21.7.tar.gz> /usr/InstallDirectory
gunzip LILO-21*
tar -xvf LILO-21*
now cd LILO-21*

But in the last stage when it prompted that the lilo is going to be installed in the MBR ang I chose [yes], the message "1107>1023" came up and unfortunately the lilo wasn't installed properly.

I thought that with this version of lilo the problems whith the cylinder(1024) would have been past.
(Maybe I should have choosen in the istallation the linear choise?)
I do not know if the problem is lilo or me
I think i ll give up and start the linux from the boot-disk at the end.
If there is an other advice I will be very happy to listen it.
Thanks!

Forget LILO its a right arse.

Try out Grub, ive heard good things.

Did you do the

make
make install


in your lilo-21.7 directory where you unpacked the tarball? Did the install work? Or where there errors?
/sbin/lilo -v
will give you more information and should show the version of lilo you are using.
