I installed everything successfully (Slackware 4.1), recompiled a kernel,
rebooted, everything worked as expected.  Then, not long afterwards on
another reboot, LILO just hangs.  I have to boot using a floppy now.  Any
suggestions on how to fix this?

Should I uninstall LILO and then re-install?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Bob
