RE: Difficulty installing 6.2

["Barker, Bob" <bbarker caprock com>]

I finally figured out the problem out over the weekend.  At the tail end of
the install, you're asked to give the boot image a name - the default is
linux but I usually change it.  It previous versions, the install kept you
under a tight rein as to what you could use for a label.  6.2 does not check
nearly as thoroughly.  I labelled min 'RedHat Linux' - and thought it was
cool they got around the space limitation.  Trouble is, they didn't.  The
install will let you put a space in the boot image name - and that was the
problem.  Once I changed that (to 'RH_Linux'), it's worked just fine ever
since.

Hi barker,
	If u can show the first 7 lines of your /etc/lilo.conf  to us we
would
try to figure out your problem. If you r using SCSI disks then the first
line
of your /etc/lilo.conf file should be -

boot=/dev/sda
 else the MBR of the first drive is not bieng written by lilo. Please change
it
to that and run /sbin/lilo.
