Hi,
I am having the problem suddenly that lilo wouldn't boot from MBR anymore,
but only from floppy. I get the error message "No operating system found". I
didn't get any errors when I re/installed lilo and so checked lilo that
actually gets installed in the mbr:
# lilo
Added Linux *
Added LinuxOLD
Added Windows
# dd if=/dev/hda count=1 | strings | grep -i lilo
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
LILO
I have a windows partition on the disk so I booted into win and did a fdisk
/mbr but still the same problem. I have a Gericom Notebook with six
partitions (the linux ones being ext3):
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 19 152586 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda2 * 20 800 6273382+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 801 1438 5124735 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda4 1439 2432 7984305 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 1439 2000 4514233+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 2001 2432 3470008+ 83 Linux
This is my lilo.conf:
lba32
boot=/dev/hda
# compact
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/System.map-2.4.17-686
# password=tatercounter2000

# append=""

initrd=/initrd.img

Thanks in advance,
