Hi all,
	I'm installing redhat on my AST J50 Laptop. Almost the end of the
installation, when I'm going through the step to install lilo, the system
returns this message:
	First sector of /dev/hda5 doesn't have a valid boot signature.

What is that mean?
I have to reboot the system, and use the bootup disk to login, it went ok.
however when I try to do the lilo install, I got that message again. Help!

Kevin
