Boot Problems - "lilo" says "LI"

• Symptom: you get the message "LI" (or a similar message) and then nothing, or an endless loop of garbage.
• Reboot to the previous kernel.
• Check the syntax of the lilo entry for the kernel - something there is terribly wrong.
• If you can't see what is wrong, delete the entry, and create it again. Often mistakes done in the first copy+paste do not occur in the second attempt.
