Here is my lilo.conf file and I think that you are missing some lines in yours. boot=/dev/sda9 map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b timeout=30 prompt default=012601 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-5tr_012601 label=012601 read-only root=/dev/sda9 Maybe you need the "default" statement but you only have one boot image so maybe not. Maybe try this and see if it works. And make sure your initrd.img isn't in the "/boot" directory. This is pointing to "/". boot = /dev/hda1 timeout = 100 default = linux linear prompt message = /boot/message vga = normal read-write image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22 label = linux initrd = /initrd.img root = /dev/hda1 HTH sim Andrew Nemchenko wrote: > You know what I just finished my new Redhat install 7.0 from the ftp > site and I'm having the same LILO problem all it says is "LI" at the > boot prompt, I have not scsi or other types of possible problem causing > devices attached.
