Re: New install hangs on boot up

[Stephen D Reindl <sreindl@apci.net>]

I've had this problem before. Which bootloader did you install. LILO. I
could be way off base here but it might possibly be a geometry problem.
LILO seems to have a problem with the newer BIG drives. Is this a dual
boot? Although the kernel should see past the BIOS did you enable block
mode? You don't want that.

Just food for thought.Or for ignoring.

When I try to boot, the system hangs (can't ctrl-alt-del) at the partition check for hda.  Anyone have any ideas?  fdisk says that the partition info is ok.  Thanks for any help you can give.
