linux install

[wallywojo]

Can anyone help with a dual boot for mandrake linux and WIn 98. The error i receive is when booting to linux, the screen continuously displays zeros and never loads linux. Could it be a problem with the configuration of LILO?<br>
<br>
Thank You in advance<br>

If it loads win98 but won't load linux then it could be the kernel currupt!<br>
<br>
or the lilo not told properly where the kernel is.<br>
is your win98 or linux partition first?<br>

LILO will usually tell you if it has a problem finding the files. The LILO displayed when it starts is part of the debugging script. If that is OK then LILO can find all the necessary files.<br>
<br>
You didn't say if you can boot to Win98. That would also indicate LILO is installed properly.<br>
<br>
If all that is OK I would say Simon had the right answer, your kernel is corrupt. <p>Michael Regan<br><a href=mailto:mregan@bccs-ca.com>mregan@bccs-ca.com</a><br><a href=

try re-installing your Linux OS...see if that doesn't fix the problem <p>-Robherc<br><a href=mailto:robherc@netzero.net>robherc@netzero.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>*nix installation & program collector/reseller. Contact me if you think you've got one that I don't

I have tried re-installation of linux and that does not fix the problem. Also, win98 does boot properly. The only way I can boot to linux is through the boot disk.
