- Hello all,
-
- I have a problem with the LILO - bootloader. I wanted to boot MSDOS from
- /dev/hda1 and Linux from /dev/sda1 . My kernel-image is /Image resp. /Image.old
- So I tried the install-script from Section 3.4 "Two disks, Linux on the second
- disk, the first disk has an extended partition":
-
- /etc/lilo/lilo -b /dev/hda2 -c -v -v -v -v -i /etc/lilo/boot.b $* \
- /linux \
- /linux.backup \
- msdos=/etc/lilo/chain.b+/dev/hda1@/dev/hda
-
- I got the following screen output:
-
- LILO version 0.6
- Written 1992 by Werner Almesberger
-
- Reading boot sector from /dev/hda2
- Merging with /etc/lilo/boot.b
- Sorry, don't know how to handle device 0x0802
-
- Then I tried EVERY combination of parameters and I tried to install it
- on /dev/hda like in Section 3.5 . I also tried the following install-script:
-
- /etc/lilo/lilo -b /dev/hda2 -c -v -v -v -v -i /etc/lilo/boot.b $* \
- linux=/Image \
- old-linux=/Image.old \
- msdos=/etc/lilo/chain.b+/dev/hda1@/dev/hda
-
- Then I tried it without the old-linux-part. All with the same effect.
-
- It is impossible that my LILO-version is corrupted because I also
- tried a copy of the whole /etc/lilo directory from a friend who has
- successfully installed LILO with one HD.
-
- Can anybody help me with this problem?
