Hi folks - I hope someone can help me with this :)
I've been struggling with this for hours now, so I think the time has come to cry for help. I've installed a very basic woody from a 2.4 bootable CD from http://people.debian.org/~blade/boot-floppies/cvs/boot-bf2.4-with-basede bs.iso I had to install the driver for the raid card near the beginning of the setup. It is dpt_i2o.o - a version which loads correctly with 2.4.18 kernels! After this loads, I can not only see my IDE drive (/dev/hda) (simply there to transfer some data and keep me sane - it's going when this works!) and my SCSI-RAID1 array (/dev/sda). 2 ~36Gb SCSI disks configured as RAID-1 in the SCSI bios. /dev/sda is partitioned as follows: /dev/sda1 is /boot (8.2Mb) /dev/sda2 is swap (~2 Gb - the machine will soon have 1Gb RAM. It's an AMD 1800MHz chip. /dev/sda3 is / (5Gb) /dev/sda4 is /var (the rest of the space - about 29 Gb) I have built a custom kernel which at some point yesterday booted fine and detected everything I needed to. It's residing as /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18. /etc/lilo.conf (I can't currently copy/paste this) installs the MBR to /dev/sda and gives the root as /dev/sda3. Running Lilo seems to go fine, but on reboot, with SCSI selected in the BIOS, I get a string of numbers printed when LILO loads - I _think_ this is the letter "L", followed by "01 01 01 01 01...." which I understand means that it can't find /boot/boot.b due to either a disk failure or LILO being pointlessly stupid. Please - can anybody help me with this configuration. All I want to achieve is a basic install to work on, of the 2.4.18 kernel, supporting my Adaptec 2100s and my 3Com 3c905 network cards (I understand the 3c59x.o module does that). Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm going round in circles and running out of ideas.
