I am using an Adaptec S3210 RAID5 card in a Dual Xeon 2.4G (Using various
kernels up to 2.4.20-rc1 and I cannot get it to boot via LILO at all (GRUB
Works fine)(I've tried the latest version of LILO)
When booting up LILO gives the error
LILO - Descriptor Checksum Error
and then just stops.
Has anyone any pointers on how to fix this.. All relivant info below
Any other info can be given easily.
Thanks
