Lilo and Grub both hang when running command (SOLVED???)

[stickboy2642]

I have a strange problem with one of my systems. I am trying to update the kernel, and I am running into problems while running lilo. When I type the 'lilo' command, my console hangs, and lilo never exits or returns an error. I can even type kill -9 <lilo pid> and it remains in the process tree.

I thought that this might be a problem with lilo, so I emerged grub, and get a very similar result. When I type 'grub' the console just hangs. At this point I am assuming some kind of hardware problem, but I thought I would run it past the people on this forum to see if they have had similar problems.

One other note, this is a software raid system. I recently updated from the 2.4 kernel to 2.6. Is there something in this migration that could be giving me problems?

Well, not sure what the exact cause of the problem was, but I grabbed my LiveCD just in case, and rebooted the system. It booted into the old kernel (apparently neither boot loader changed the MBR) and I was able to run lilo without any problems.
