Hi: Currently, I'm running linux well on my first IDE HD, but the problem comes when I try to use lilo booting the second IDE HD. Please give me some advices. Thanks :) Oh, by teh way, the first IDE HD (/dev/hda) is the master drive on first IDE controller. The second IDE HD (/dev/hdd) is the slave drive on second IDE controller.
I've tried to modify /etc/lilo.conf to boot the DOS on /dev/hdd3, but it fails. The error message appearing at the booting time is the following: boot: DOS LOADING DOS ERROR: 0x01 LOADING Linux The following is my /etc/lilo.conf : boot=/dev/hda1 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map linear prompt timeout=100 image=/vmlinuz label=Linux root=/dev/hda1 read-only vga=normal other=/dev/hdd3 loader=/boot/chain.b label=DOS table=/dev/hdd The following is my partition table of the second IDE HD: /dev/hdd1 1 1088 514048+ 83 Linux native /dev/hdd2 1089 1229 66622+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hdd3 * 1025 4050 1429785 e Win95 FAT16 (LBA) /dev/hdd4 4051 10602 3095820 f Win95 Extended (LBA) /dev/hdd5 4051 6239 1034271 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hdd6 6240 8428 1034271 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hdd7 8429 10600 1026238+ 83 Linux native Thanks so much for help :) Jack ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
