Yes..... This happen to me in gentoo linux, it's a grub error.
Installed this on two different machines and consistantly got a LILO error.
L 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99.....etc...
Has this happened to anyone else?

hmm, I had same problem with yoper...Originally Posted by Anonymous
I also had this prioblem.
If you already ahev Windowz on that machine than i think that may haev something to do with it.. (I had it XP on the same machine) I re-installed my linux box.. and there was an option to write LILO to the Mastre BOOT record (MBR) or to a seperate partition...
I got L 99 99 99 99 99 99... when i wrote it to a bootable partition.... but i got my regualr boot when it was written in the MBR.
Give that a shot and se if it'll work.
Hi all,
I'm a Knoppix fan, have used the CD several times to show colleagues, friends, clients what Linux is capable of.
Have recently put a new HD in my Windows PC (WinME), and have been trying various LINUX distros on it. (always with hassles, especially DEBIAN)
Tried the HDinstall script on the knoppix CD, everything went okay untill I rebooted and I got the mentioned 9999999999999999999999999 scrolling across the screen error.
This thread has been quiet for a while, I am wondering if the problem has been identified/fixed?
Am presently downloading the latest build (1-20-2003), so perhaps that one will work okay?

I managed to fix my lilo 99 problem by downloading the 1st debian ISO image made a disk and booted to it typed linux and it brought me to the beggining configuration to install linux. As it ran me through the opitions I told it to accept the existing partitions swap etc... then it took me to the LILO configuration it reconfigured LILO with the OS's on my system including my knoppix HD install. Took the CD out and rebooted Lilo appeared with both my WinXP install and Linux.
Without the L 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99. Phew. As for how to fix lilo without the Debian CD I do not know I am just a newbie. Just be careful when it comes to the Partition part you want to use your existing partitions "DO NOT ERASE AND RECREATE THEM!"
Other that
is their another way to fix L 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 problem???downloading the 1st debian ISO image made a disk and booted to it typed linux and it brought me to the beggining configuration to install linux
Trying to fix this same problem, and thought I'd share the solution I found elsewhere:
"Lilo did not surprise me again: on a 4 GB IDE that was set to "NORMAL" in BIOS, LILO hang with: "L 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 ...". Changing the translation to LBA solved the problem."
Worked for me. Give it a try.
