I am trying to install the bare minimum of woody bf2.4. I have the following partitions on my hard drive: hda1 windows - 80GB - NTFS hdc1 /boot - 25MB - ext3 hdc2 /home - 05GB - ext3 hdc3 / - 25GB - ext3 hdc4 /swap - rest of hd
I have chosen to place lilo on hdc. I configured my BIOS to boot off of hdc and not hda. When I reboot I get message "L 01 01 01 ...". I looked through lilo documentation (http://www.ipcop.org/1.3.0/en/install/html/LILO-errors.html) and it says: "“Illegal command”. This shouldn't happen, but if it does, it may indicated an attempt to access a disk which is not supported by the BIOS." I used a floppy disk to boot and ran lilo as root. I rebooted. Then I got the message: "L 80 80 80..." documentation says: "“Disk timeout”. The disk or the drive isn't ready. Either the media is bad or the disk isn't spinning. If you're booting from a floppy, you might not have closed the drive door. Otherwise, trying to boot again might help." I once again booted using a floppy. I changed line boot=/dev/hdc1 to boot=/dev/hdc. ran lilo as root, and rebooted. Then I got the message: "L 40 40 40 40..." documentation says: "“Seek failure”. This might be a media problem. Try booting again." Before choosing to install woody I had a variant of Knoppix called Kurumin installed on my hard drive. Kurumin is based on Debian and it worked just fine. When I had Kurumin installed I had one big / partition taking up the whole hdc drive. Can anyone help me? I was thinking of maybe reinstalling Kurumin and checking to see if it works with all the different partitions I created or maybe placing lilo on hda. I really wanted to keep lilo on hdc though. Can anyone help me? Thank you. -daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
