Lilo corrupt

[Social Burn]

I thought I had fixed the problem but now it has returned.

It worked once, then the power went out and now I'm getting the imfamous L 99 loop when Lilo is supposed to be loading. I've tried reinstalling Lilo, to no avail.

My Windows partition - /dev/sda1
Slackware partition - /dev/sdb1

My lilo.conf;

append="hdc=ide-scsi"
boot = /dev/sdb     
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 1200
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
reset
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
vga = 791
------- (skipped because was irrelevant) --------
# Windows bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/sda1
label = Windows
table = /dev/sda
# Windows bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/sdb1
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends

df output (if it helps);

Hi,

I apologize for not bringing you any help here. I am having the same problem with lilo printing L 99 99 99 to the infinitum. Did you find a way to solve this problem?

Thank You!!
