- Hi:
- After I successfully install LILO-0.7 , I can boot linux from my
- SCSI HD but the X386 went wrong.
- Every time when I startx the screen just pop some error message very fast
- and then the system reboot itself.
- I can barely see the error message but I think it's something like
-
- general protection ...........
- EIP ...........
- EFLAGs .....
- fs .........
- ...........
-
- So I have to go back, and boot from floppy, and X works well.
- I tried to install lilo in floppy, the same thing happy. And I remember
- may be this problem has been asked in middle DEC 92'.
-
- My config file is as following
- ----> boot = /dev/sda1
- install = /etc/lilo/boot.b
- image = /Image
- label = linux
- root = /dev/sda
- vga = normal
- ramdisk = 0
-
- I've try to setup different vga type and ramdisk size but it didn't work.
- The X server I used is XS3-0.3, and the vga card is Orchid Fahrenheit 1280
- , 16 MB RAM and phonex BIOS.
-
- Someone know what happen? Please help me to solve the problem.
- Thanks in advance.
- By the way I found that the news posted before(the news number lower than
- current news we can see) is sometimes very useful. Does someone know is there
- any to get them ?
- Thanks again
