I am no expert, but it may be that lilo is installed in the MBR of hda1 and DSL is in hdb2. If so, your lilo entry for DSL has to point to the correct location for the image. Something like:
image=/hdb2/boot/linux24
label=Linux
root=/dev/hdb2
Or maybe even "image=/mnt/hdb2/boot/linux24"
Good luck, jimbo
| Quote | my problem its with LILO
I did run "dsl-hdinstall" to hdb2 partion
all ok
even with the "mkliloboot"
My partions are these :
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 1 25 200781 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdb2 26 87 498015 83 Linux
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 635 2560288+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
but on reboot i go directly to the Windows ME
I presume that lilo its not installed
then i boot DSL from CD
and mount /dev/hdb2 /mnt/hdb2
then i edit my /mnt/hdb2/etc/lilo.conf
its like this:
vga=789
# +---------------------------------------------------------------+
# | !! Reminder !! |
# | |
# | Don't forget to run `lilo' after you make changes to this |
# | conffile, `/boot/bootmess.txt', or install a new kernel. The |
# | computer will most likely fail to boot if a kernel-image |
# | post-install script or you don't remember to run `lilo'. |

# +---------------------------------------------------------------+
# Support LBA for large hard disks.

lba32
# Overrides the default mapping between harddisk names and the BIOS'
# harddisk order. Use with caution.
#disk=/dev/hde
# bios=0x81
#disk=/dev/sda
# bios=0x80
# Specifies the boot device. This is where Lilo installs its boot
# block. It can be either a partition, or the raw device, in which
# case it installs in the MBR, and will overwrite the current MBR.
#
boot=/dev/hda
# Specifies the device that should be mounted as root. (`/')
#
root=/dev/hdb2
# Enable map compaction:
# Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single
# read request. This drastically reduces load time and keeps the
# map smaller. Using `compact' is especially recommended when
# booting from a floppy disk. It is disabled here by default
# because it doesn't always work.
#
# compact
# Installs the specified file as the new boot sector
# You have the choice between: bmp, compat, menu and text
# Look in /boot/ and in lilo.conf(5) manpage for details
#
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
# Specifies the location of the map file
#
map=/boot/map
# You can set a password here, and uncomment the `restricted' lines
# in the image definitions below to make it so that a password must
# be typed to boot anything but a default configuration. If a
# command line is given, other than one specified by an `append'
# statement in `lilo.conf', the password will be required, but a
# standard default boot will not require one.
#
# This will, for instance, prevent anyone with access to the
# console from booting with something like `Linux init=/bin/sh',
# and thus becoming `root' without proper authorization.
#
# Note that if you really need this type of security, you will
# likely also want to use `install-mbr' to reconfigure the MBR
# program, as well as set up your BIOS to disallow booting from
# removable disk or CD-ROM, then put a password on getting into the
# BIOS configuration as well. Please RTFM `install-mbr(8)'.
#
# password=tatercounter2000
# Specifies the number of deciseconds (0.1 seconds) LILO should
# wait before booting the first image.
#
delay=20
# You can put a customized boot message up if you like. If you use
# `prompt', and this computer may need to reboot unattended, you
# must specify a `timeout', or it will sit there forever waiting
# for a keypress. `single-key' goes with the `alias' lines in the
# `image' configurations below. eg: You can press `1' to boot
# `Linux', `2' to boot `LinuxOLD', if you uncomment the `alias'.
#
# message=/boot/bootmess.txt
prompt
timeout=150
# prompt
# single-key
# delay=100

but when i run /mnt/hdb2/sbin/lilo
the result is:
Unrecognized token "! Please edit /etc/lilo.conf before running lilo!" at or above line 6 in file '/etc/lilo.conf'
I i´m up :P
it´s about the first 1024 Mb on HDB?
anyone to help me with a clue?
thanks of a newbie |
