I just installed Debian 1.1 last night (overwriting my old Slackware install). I got through the smoke-test (ie, reboot), and everything seemed fairly okay (got a couple warnings about post?-install scripts not being found). I installed my packages, setup X (my mouse won't work ;-), user accounts, etc.
I then went to reboot. I got: LILO: Loading Linux And that's it. No dots. Nothing. But my disk light stayed on. So I decided to wait a bit. Still nothing. So I rebooted with my custom floppy. Came up fine. My root disk (/) is hda1, set as bootable. It's about 350MB (is this a problem?). The rest of this disk went to a 64MB swap. There is another disk (hdb) mounted on `/archive'. I didn't try just using `vmlinux' instead of `vmlinuz' (I'd have to take the `compact' out of `lilo.conf', right?). I did compile and install a new kernel, but it didn't help. Does anyone have any idea what could have gone wrong? I've had my old Linux install working for ~3years. Never a problem like this. Thanks for any help. -- Kevin K.
