|0x20|__Controller error__: This shouldn't happen, then again, none of these errors should happen eh?
|0x40|__Seek failure__: This might be a media problem. Try booting again.
|0x80|__Disk timeout__: The disk or the drive isn't ready. Either the media is bad or the disk isn't spinning. If you're booting from a floppy, you might not have closed the drive door. Otherwise, trying to boot again might help.
|0xBB|__BIOS error__: This shouldn't happen. Try booting again. If the problem persists, removing the COMPACT option or adding/removing LINEAR or LBA32 might help.

+!__LILO Messages__[1]
+
+When LILO loads itself it displays the word “LILO”. Each letter is printed before or after some specific action. If LILO fails at some point, the letters printed so far can be used to identify the problem.
+
+Note that some hex digits may be inserted after the first “L” if a transcient disk problem occurs. Unless LILO stops at that point, generating an endless stream of error codes, such hex digits do not indicate a severe problem.
+
+| __(nothing)__ | No part of LILO has been loaded. LILO either isn't installed or the partition on which its boot sector is located isn't active. You have probably not booted from the correct device or the media you've booted from is faulty.
+| __L__ | The first stage boot loader has been loaded and started, but it can't load the second stage boot loader. The two-digit error codes indicate the type of problem. (See also the LILO Disk Error Codes section, below.) This condition usually indicates a media failure or bad disk parameters in the IPCop PC's BIOS.
+| __LI__ | The first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot loader, but has failed to execute it. This can be caused by bad disk parameters in the IPCop PC's BIOS.
+| __LIL__ | The second stage boot loader has been started, but it can't load the descriptor table from the map file. This is typically caused by a media failure or by bad disk parameters in the IPCop PC's BIOS.
+| __LIL?__ | The second stage boot loader has been loaded at an incorrect address. This is typically caused by bad disk paramters in the IPCop PC's BIOS.
+| __LIL-__ | The desriptor table is corrupt. This can be caused by bad disk parameters in the IPCop PC's BIOS.
+| __LILO__ | All parts of LILO have been sucessfully loaded.
