Re: New install hangs on boot up

[Michael Cubley <mcubley@shawneelink.com>]

I have checked lilo.conf.  It appears to be a problem with the IDE
controller and resource conflicts.  Intel 82801DB.  I have found reference
to problems with it but no solutions.  Anyone know anything about it?

went fine.  It was partitioned automatically into three partitions. When I
try to boot, the system hangs (can't ctrl-alt-del) at the partition check
for hda.  Anyone have any ideas?  fdisk says that the partition info is ok.
Thanks for any help you can give.
