The framebuffer console replaces SVGATextMode (although something else
might be replacing that, for all I know). Running the Matrox frameb

The prize goes to Jiri Klouda *applause* for the winning tip. I checked out
/usr/share/doc/lilo, and found the section that mentioned about 6
permutations of lilo just printing out "LIL-" (I mis-remembered, and thought
it was just "LI-". Anyway, the /boot/map file had not been updated when I
I had the problem of LILO stopping at "LI" when booting from the MBR on my
machine. Upon further research I found that my BIOS is too cheap to boot from

After setting up lilo on my MBR to allow me to dual-boot Debian and my
game-OS, everything worked well. I had to use the lba32 option in lilo.conf
to get this to work, so initially I was booting lilo from a floppy.
Well everything is fine for a while, then one day, I reboot and get:
