[ltp] LILO problems

[Raj, Ashok]

You can alternately also boot via the emergency floppy you created.

Then add lba32 argument to the lilo command line parms which i have seen fix
the problem.

this sounds like an OLD bug in lilo...
i remeber if the kernel was not below sector 1024 on the disk it would not 
load properly.  If you have partition magic you could try adding
a small \boot partition at the beginning of your disk and move your kernels 
there.

I still do this on my machines even though it is supposed to be fixed by
now.

good luck
