It was one of those Dallas Realtime Clocks, a 12887. Amazingly, it was in a socket, not soldered to the mobo. >What you are reporting sounds like something is intermittantly connecting & >disconnecting. Perhaps it won't make a good router? One suspicion is that one or more of the BIOS settings is now wrong, but I long ago forgot the little I knew about 1995 vintage BIOS'es. High on that suspect list is one called something like Large Disk Access Mode, the choices are DOS or Other. I'd really prefer to get lilo working. The floppy drive is known to be a bit flaky, so I would rather not rely on it for normal booting. According to my reading, the probable cause of lilo stopping at "L" is a "geometry mismatch". The hard drives were partitioned and formatted by the redhat installation, Server class. Advice?
