Hello,
I tried to upgrade one of our RedHat 6.2 systems to 7.0 recently and have
come up against a brick wall. The install went fine off the CDs. On reboot,
it hanged (hung?) at the LI prompt. Following the LILO documentation, I
booted using a floppy, and figured that the problem was with the
/boot/boot.b file. So I tried to run LILO after chrooting to the mount
point. The trouble began when it gave me an error saying:
Map segment is too big.
Now, everything in the /boot directory seems to have the right size. The
partition record seems to be ok because I can mount all the partitions with
no problem once I boot from the floppy. Is there anything I overlooked? Any
help would be greatly appreciated. I have slept since this occurred.

As usual, thanks in advance,

PS: I cannot go back to 6.2 either because it always hangs at the "Finding
packages to upgrade" step.
