hello, OK, in my attempt to get my system back to normal after ditching Red Hat, I'd like to iron out some problems with LILO. First an explanation of my system:
IDE hard disk being used as /boot, and /home SCSI hard disk being used as /root SCSI host adapter that is ISA, and does not work without drivers (software)...in other words, I cannot boot up on a SCSI drive. In Red Hat, I had no problem making it so that the IDE disk had all the stuff necessary to load up the drivers for the SCSI drive, and after that, everythign would go as normal. However, in Debian, no matter what I did in the setup, I couldn't get it to tel me that the IDE drive would be the first to boot up. It would always default to the SCSI disk. So now I'm stuck using te floppy whenever I need to boot (not really a big issue as I keep it on all the time). can anyone give me some advice on how to fix this? thanks!!! -lev BTW, the problem with the Xwindows thing starting only as root had to do with an odd thing in the /etc/X11/Xserver file...it seems that it had a whole bunch of garbage in it after the initial '/usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA' line...it looked like text from xf86config program...anywho, I deleted all of it, and put 'Console' below the first line, and it worked fine.
