idaho_guy_28 : 22/12/01 03:20 PM : Incident created -   After installing some "security updates" from Mandrake update, which included the new Kernal, xmms, Image Magik and others, I rebooted my machine and received the following message: ".Loading LinuxEBDA too big" What is EBDA, and why can't I boot now, not even into Failsafe? HELP! please :) Thanks Idaho_guy_28
Linegod_7611 : 22/12/01 06:55 PM : Reply received -   As a note, never upgrade a kernel with Mandrake Update (newer versions of Mandrake Update do not allow you to upgrade a kernel). To fix your problem, boot with the Linux boot disk, and when the system comes up, switch to a console, and as root, run '/sbin/lilo' to reconfigure LILO.
