If lilo(8) encounters an error when it is reading itself into memory it will output a hexidecimal number onto the screen.
-eg: L010101

|Code|Reason
|0x00|__Internal Error__: This code is generated by the sector read routine of the LILO boot loader whenever an internal inconsistency is detected. This might be caused by corrupt files. Try re-building the map file. Another possible cause for this error are attempts to access cylinders beyond 1024 while using the LINEAR option.
|0x01|__Illegal Command__: This shouldn't happen, but if it does, it may indicate an attempt to access a disk which is not supported by the BIOS.
|0x02|__Address mark not found__: This usually indicates a media problem. Try again several times.
|0x03|__Write-protected disk__: This should only occur on write operations.
|0x04|__Sector not found__. This typically indicates a geometry mismatch. If you're booting a raw-written disk image, verify whether it was created for disks with the same geometry as the one you're using. If you're booting from a SCSI disk or a large IDE disk, you should check, whether LILO has obtained correct geometry data from the kernel or whether the geometry definition corresponds to the real disk geometry. Removing COMPACT may help too. So may adding LBA32 or LINEAR.
|0x06|__Change line active__: This should be a transient error. Try booting a second time.
-|0x07|__Invalid initialization__: The BIOS failed to properly initialize the disk controller. You should control the BIOS setup parameters. A warm boot might help too.
+|0x07|__Invalid initialization__: The BIOS failed to properly initialize the disk controller. You should control the BIOS setup parameters. A warm boot might help too. (Boot a rescue disc and rerun LILO.)
|0x08|__DMA overrun__: This shouldn't happen. Try booting again.
|0x09|__DMA attempt across 64k boundary__: This shouldn't happen, but may inicate a disk geometry mis-match. Try omitting the COMPACT option. You may need to specify the disk geometry yourself.
|0x0C|__Invalid media__: This shouldn't happen and might be caused by a media error. Try booting again.
|0x10|__CRC error__: A media error has been detected. Try booting several times, running the map installer a second time (to put the map file at some other physical location or to write "good data" over the bad spot), mapping out the bad sectors/tracks and, if all else fails, replacing the media.
