I'm trying to update up kernel, and I get all the way through and
lilo won't rewrite the MBR when I run it. I think this is the first
time I've tried to update my kernel since I moved HDs. I copied
my linux distribution from a smaller HD to a bigger HD, and here's
what lilo reports when I try to run it:
LILO version 19, Copyright 1992-1996 Werner Almesberger
Reading boot sector from /dev/hda
Merging with /boot/boot.b
Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible
geo_comp_addr: Cylinder number is too big (1484 > 1023)
My drives are as follows:
/dev/hda boot windows95
/dev/hdb windows95, linux (old drive)
/dev/hdc linux (new drive)
thanks
