Hello, yesterday I suddenly could not boot Linux from the HD anymore. When booting, LILO begins the boot process correctly, but after that first line "Loading linux..........." is written to the screen, the PC reboots immediately. However, it is still possible to boot from diskette (which takes an eternity), and LILO also lets me boot into DOS correctly (DOS is on my /dev/hda partition). After booting from diskette, I seem to be able to work absolutely without problems. Also, I don't remember any essential problems during the last sessions or the last shutdowns before the problem appeared. I'm using Debian Linux 2.0.34 on a P100 PC.
I would highly appreciate any suggestions concerning possible causes of the failure or any advice at which parts of the system to look for fixing the problem. Please reply by direct e-mail as well, as I am not subscribed to the list. Thank you, -- -------------------------------------------- Thomas Ruedas Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics, J.W.
