Very Strange (solved)

**Infinity** · 08-25-2005

Well I've successfully installed minislack (zenwalk 1.2) but I can't get Gaim to work with my msn account (I've posted a thread about that problem in "linux applacations'' ) So I burnt the images on a cd and installed Slackware 10.1 (after creating 3 partitions with fdisk, /, /home and swap)

Ctrl+alt+del equals reboot ... then I get like 200-300 sets of numbers (all 99) on my screen. It looks like this: L 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 and so on and so on.

Maybe it's the default bootloader Lilo?
Then again I tried an option called: "do not install bootloader" (or something like that). No luck.

Maybe another kernel?
I tried 3 different ones. Again. No luck.

Maybe it's my hardware?
then again the default kernel at boot saw everything and the install itself went just fine.

So I'm asking for help with this minor problem.

It looks like it a LILO problem. Or maybe your forum avatar. as both of you are using the same one.

Here's a thread in a Slackware forum.

Thank you very much for the reply. I will take a look at those threads.

Btw. My first guess was that I installed lilo incorrectly.

No problem

That's what I think as well.

Let's not get into an Intel vs. AMD flame war here, let's just say that most (real) geeks choose AMD over Intel any day. Although all pre-built pc's come with Intel proc's, so.. you have Dell, Compaq, and HP on your side on this one

He's changed his avatar since his first post, he was using FragTux. As for AMD or Intel I've used both over the last 9 years of building computers (personal and those I've sold).

Just in case you've never seen this, my first home built system had the K5-PR75 in it, the system had all three of those processors in it....
