- I've compiled and am successfully using LINUX 0.99.1.
- I've compiled and wish to be equally so with LILO 7.
-
- I can make a LILO 7 floppy which boots fine, but attempts to
- make the hard drive bootable are failures. Would appreciate
- insights other than RTFM/FAQs.
-
- My /etc/lilo/config is:
- install = /etc/lilo/boot.b
- image = /Image
- label = lin-hd
- root = /dev/hda1
-
- If I run:
- $ROOT/etc/lilo/lilo - C /etc/lilo/config $*
-
- no errors are reported.
- Then I sync and reboot.
- The system reports NO OS.
-
- My disktab is:
- 0x301 0x80 38 16 683 0 # /dev/sda
-
- The drive is a Maxtor 210MB IDE....683, 38, 16 are reported by the BIOS.
-
- Comments, suggestions, PLEASE!
- Thanks.
