Re: Mandrake install help



IT IS NOT RELATED TO MANDRAKE!

This sometimes happend even on redhat 6.1 - and I had 2 machines which had 
this problem.

Grab a DOS/Windows 95/98 boot disk (or create one).. and do the following 
things:

Boot the floppy, and type: fdisk /mbr
This will kill the old LILO which had a problem installing..

Now, use the emergency floppy disk you created with Mandrake (you did 
create, right??), and boot it - and after logging as root (or with normal 
using and "su" - then re-run LILO)

If you didn't create an emergency (shame on you! :) - then boot the 
Mandrake/Redhat CD - and type "rescue"

Good Luck,

Hetz
