21.On boot up, LILO prints out LIL and stops. What is the cause of this?

The descriptor table is bad.
LILO failed to load the second stage loader.
LILO failed to load the primary stage loader.
LILO failed to locate the kernel image.

Explanation: If you only see LIL- when booting the system, it means that LILO could not load the map file (descriptor table).

Incorrect Answers
B: If LILO failed to load the second stage loader, you would see only LI during boot up.
