Hi all,

I've been trying to get LILO to work on my Hard Drive
for 2 days now without any success ..so maybe someone
can  help me ...Here is my problem ...

I have an IBM DeskStar 16GP 10.1Go (UDMA33) on which
I have a primary Dos partition (of 5Go) declared as
FAT32, that holds my win98 system. I want to install
Linux RedHat 5.2 on the remaining 5Go.

* When I start the RedHat 5.2 installation ..it detects
  only 1024 cylinders (out of the 1232) and thus I only
  have 8Go. To solve this problem I start the
  installation with the parameter hda=1232,255,63 and
  that works fine ....but can anyone tell me why I have
  to pass this argument ?
* After I have finished the installation, the system
  ask me where I want to put Lilo ... and I answer on
  the MBR of hda. When I reboot to start ..... LILO
  stops right after the first L without any error code
  ... so I don't know what's happening .....
  Do I put the LILO at the wrong place ? Is there a
  compatibility problem with my Hard Drive ?
* The only way I can start is to boot from a floppy..
  then I can access to the partition table :

 Part  | Type               |  Size   | Mounted as
-------------------------------------------
 hda1 | Fat32             |   5Go   | /DosC
 hda3 | Linux Native |   3Go   | /usr/local
 hda5 | Linux Native |   2Go   | /
 hda6 | Swap             | 127Mo |

- Why isn't there a hda2 ?
- I use Disk Druid and I can't make a big Linux Native
  partition of 5Go. I have to split in smaller
