I've recently been trying to install Lilo on my SLS Linux system. I've run
into a problem that I hope some kind soul can help me out with. First of all,
my system configuration is as follows:
16 megs RAM
2 Hard drives (40 meg and 20 meg) with:
/dev/hda1 Linux/Minix partition (40 megs)
/dev/hdb1 Linux/Minix partition (12 megs with /home mounted on it)
/dev/hdb2 Linux swap (8 megs)
(I have no dos partitions)
When I initially tested lilo, as suggested in the sparse non-LaTeX docs (I can'tread LaTeX documents either) I installed lilo on a floppy in /dev/fd0 with the
following command:
lilo -b /dev/fd0 -i boot.b -v -v -v /Image
When I boot off this floppy, it appears to load everything correctly, the
cirtual terminal and lp initialization appears on the screen which is followed
by the following error message:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at address c1000000
Oops: 0002

What is going on here? Can anyone help?
