<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have installed Linux-Mandrake 6.0 on disk that shows up in the BIOS as LBA, Mode 4, 1624mb<br />
I partitioned as such<br />
1 16mb /boot<br />
2 128mb swap<br />
3 1004mb /<br />
4 400mb /home<br />
install goes great, I installed LILO in the MBR.<br />
When I boot from the hard drive I get LILO boot: &nbsp;then<br />
Loading linux...........<br />
And then nothing happens. &nbsp;I changed the linear setting with no change. &nbsp;I can boot from a boot diskette and it works great. &nbsp;any ideas would be appreciated.

Linux booting from HD

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
