I am trying to install SuSE 6.0 with LILO as bootmanager
on a harddisk with more than 1024 cylinders (24xx). In the 
help file it is described that I have to divide the HD in 
more partitions, one with less than 1024cyl. and the rest.
I have done this and installed the system in this partition.

If I reboot my pc after the installation the screen is filled 
with '1010101010...' .

If you have an idea, please mail me (DIRECTLY!).

p.s.: the HD is on the second IDE bus and jumpered to ? (is this 
important?).
