1)
Ok so i have dsl running from my hd.
ONLY if its connected to my IDE on the motheboard.
it will NOT install if i have it connected to my Promise TX2 U133 Card.
When dsl boots it sees the card and see's the model and size of the hard drive but why wont dsl install on that hard drive while its connected to the controller card. ?
it WILL work if its connected to the Pri channel on the mobo.
this is frustrating as i dont use the onboard ide for hard drives.
2)
I use suse64 9.2
It too is installed on that same hard drive on that same promise card.
what do i need to do to make Suse dual boot with DSL ?
i have tried Lilo and grub and neither will work properly.
Suse - i have added the line to both the lilo loader and the grub loader so that it see's DSL,,, DSL starts up and goes thru part of the start up and then says it cant find certain files.
what is the EXACT lilo or GRUB lines i need to add to SUSE to make it see and run DSL. ?
I have tried the tutorials from here and they do not work.
Suse lists all Bootable OS's as booting from the partition of Suse.
hda2 is where suse is
dsl is on hda1
i tell suse to run dsl from hda1 and the kernel and such point to the proper places acording to the dsl tutorial. but it loads so far and then fails.
can someon please help me i enjoy dsl so much and its helping me learn alot about linux since its such a command driven OS. versus SUSE which pretty much does all that for you.
3)
Suse will not mount the DSL partition.
It says that its a corrupt file system. even though i told DSL to install as Ext3. SUSE boots, see's the partition and then says its a corrupt format. and i tell it to ignore it so i dont mess up my DSL install.
Why does Suse do this ?
It will also do this if i tell it to install DSL as ext2. Suse still says the file system is corrupt and not a real Ext3 or 2 format.
why ?
4)
and maybe most importantly.
do i need to install DSL first and then Suse or suse then DSL
and do i tell Suse to load the boot loader on the MBR of the hard drive or on the partition table of the booting partition ?
you typically have 3 choices. 1- MBR of the suse HD, 2- Boot record of the partiton of suse. 3 - boot partition or MBR of another device like a floppy or hard drive.
5)
Any chance in hell of getting DSL to see read and access my NVidia SATA RAID! ?
Please someone tell me they have a way to make this work! PLEASE!
If i havent explained something fully or made it confusing please ask me what im talking about.
these are some of the last things i need to know for making dsl work for me.
aside from maybe installing KDE in dsl or making my ATI card have hardware graphics. (which i still cant get working with suse either ggrrrr)
