Dear All,

It has been a while since I last posted to the newsgroup, so I am not
certain whether the questions I am about to ask have already been
asked and/or answered.  However, here it goes....

I have been successful at installing RedHat 6.0 on my Pentium 233MHz
PC.  As I am sharing this PC with other people in the house, I have
installed
linux on the second hard drive that I purchased a couple of months ago,
which is a 20GB LBA Western Digital hard disk drive.

There are, however, a few problems that I am experiencing with my setup,
that of which are summarised below:

1. I am unable to boot linux off the primary root partition.
    I have installed LILO on the primary root partition, and have flagged
this
    partition as bootable, however, for some reason I am unable to boot
linux
    off it.  Whenever I do, I get "LI" being displayed, which suggests that
LILO
    does not to recognise the disk geometry of the hard drive.  No matter
what
    I do to resolve the problem, I am still getting the same result.

    Note that I have done the proper thing of creating and installing LILO
below
    cylinder 1024, as the HOWTO's suggest.  Also note that the root
partition
    containing LILO and the kernel exists well below cylinder 1024.

2. Problems with amd - Automatic Mound Daemon.
    The Automatic Mount Daemon (amd) takes a long time to initialise itself
    when booting or rebooting linux.

3. Problems shutting down linux.
    Every time I try to shutdown linux with the halt option, I get a whole
lot of
    junk of what seems to be machine code being displayed on the last
    (halt) command.

If anybody has come across similar problems, and has resolved them, could
they let me know.  It would be greatly appreciated.
