Hi everyone...

Hoping that somone can shed a bit of light on a problem I'm having..

I have installed all the necessary rpm's (I think), yet after editing the lilo.conf and running lilo -v I'm getting a strange error message telling me that it's too big !!! (See below)

The output from free is ...

total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 257676 47808 209868 11668 5412 26944 -/+ buffers/cache: 15452 242224 Swap: 207984 0 207984

If it at all helps, the hardware is an IBM Netfinity 4500, Single Proc, 256MB RAM, Hardware RAID5 using the IBM Servraid 4L adapter.

##### Output from "lilo -v" ######

##### Here's my lilo.conf ######

boot=/dev/sda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 linear default=linux16

TIA

Simon P.S. I'll be bringing this machine along to the next ALUG meet..
