Ok so I've been booting off of the DSL CD for a while with the "dsl dma" command, without which, I can't access my hard drive. I have since done a hd-install which seemed to work ok, but after the hd install when it boots it has a kernel panic... which I'm almost certain is because it isn't in dma mode anymore... so I'm pretty sure I have to add "dma" to the append string in my lilo.conf file.
- So I boot with the cd (using "dsl dma"),
- mount /dev/hda1
- add "dma" to the append line of /mnt/hda1/etc/lilo.conf
which brings me to the run lilo "or your computer may never boot again" step... which I just can't seem to get to work...
the first time I tried to run it it said there was something wrong in the lilo.conf file on line 6 (which I hadn't changed)
so I think it was using the lilo.conf from the cd instead of the hdd.
so I do lilo -C /mnt/hda1/etc/lilo.conf (which uses the proper config file). still no go... I think it's still trying to write the new lilo setup to the cdrom instead of the hdd.
I try lilo -r /mnt/hda1/ (which is supposed to change the root dir) then it says... fatal: permission denied or something like that
Any ideas from anyone?
