Lilo reads the kernel-image, but doesn't decompress it. So the system won't continue booting. Looks like: Loading linux................... (at this point the machine freezes) To be clear, most times it boots perfectly, but in 2 of 10 times it hangs. I tried different versions of Lilo (21.4.4-13 and 21.7-5) without success. The system is running Redhat 7.1 with the SGI XFS patches applied and the kernel is compressed with bzip.
