Yes, I ran lilo (several times). As I indicated, lilo runs correctly and starts loading the kernel before the kernel load halts. I understand from my reading that if there is an error in lilo running, I would see only L, LI, or LIL on the screen. Since I get LILO loading KERNEL ....., I infer that LILO is finished and the kernel is loading.
What is the minimum set of files that need to be accessible for a kernel to load and boot?
