Troubleshooting LILO
You
shouldn't
have any problems with LILO, but if you do, you'll get one of 70 different
warnings or error messages. They're not all listed here, but Table 3.2
lists six of the most probable LILO: prompt or
initial errors.



TABLE 3.2  LILO: Prompt Errors



Prompt




Description






L<nn>




nn represents one of 16
disk-error codes.






LI




The second-stage boot loader loaded, but could not
run.






LIL




The descriptor table could not be read.






LIL?




The second-stage boot loader loaded at an incorrect
address.






LIL-




LILO found a corrupt descriptor table.






LILO




LILO ran successfully.






Disk error codes can indicate problems such as an open floppy
door, a drive timeout, a controller error, a media problem, a BIOS error, or
even transient read problems (which can be overcome by rebooting). Overall, some
common problems with LILO include



    l

    Not rerunning /sbin/lilo
    following a kernel change

    l

    l

    Incorrect
    use of /sbin/lilo in creating a new boot
    map

    l

    l

    Installing and booting Linux from
    a very large (2GB+)
    partition

    l

    l

    Installing
    another operating system (such as Windows 95, which overwrites the MBR) after
    installing Linux and LILO

    l

    l

    Errors in
    /etc/lilo.conf after manual
    edits

    l

    l

    A corrupted
    MBR

    l

    l

    Installation of LILO in a Linux
    swap partition (which should be
    impossible)

    l

    l

    A missing Linux kernel
    image (error in
    /etc/lilo.conf)

    l

    l

    Installing
    Linux on and booting from a DOS partition and then defragmenting the DOS
    partition

    l

    l

    Passing
    incorrect kernel messages at the LILO:
    prompt

    l


If you run into trouble, definitely peruse Almesberger's
readme file, found under the /usr/doc/lilo directory. Take his advice: Don't
panic! With a little forethought, detection, and perseverance, you should be
able to avoid or overcome problems.
