[GLLUG] Lost LILO, Can't Boot

[Brian Hoort]

During bootup, the last thing I saw it get to was APM, at which point I get 
a panic with a screen full of hex. The last line of the screen reads:
Code = Bad EIP value

I'll try finding a bootdisk that will work. Any theories why this one 
won't? What sorts of things cause this?

Cheers
