G'day all, I have a machine running redhat that I am about to upgrade rebuild as a debian system. I have been having a problem booting and was wondering if I could find a solution to implement when I change to debian.
There are only SCSI disks /dev/sda2 900833 735118 119175 86% / /dev/sdc1 8595876 5910768 2239306 73% /home/u3 /dev/sda1 100118 14594 80354 15% /var/spool /dev/sdb1 598634 364658 203053 64% /home/www I am currently booting from the floppy as when it tries to boot from one of the HD's it locks up at LILO I see LI on the screen and it freezes (which as I understand it means that it failed to load the secondary boot record) Now the other weird thing is in an attempt to diagnose this problem I used fdisk and lilo to change all the partions to be non bootable and not have a LILO boot record but it still does the same thing even though there are no bootable partions and no partions with a LILO signature Then I made /dev/sda2 bootable again and still the same error!! I know the 9Gig disk might cause trouble but its not booting from it so it should be ok (is this correct?). Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it booting from a HD??? Thanks in advance for any help. ---Gareth
