you might need to have a "master" on the secondary IDE connector... ( some controllers require a master... - be sure you are pointing to the root partition on hda and hdb.. have fun linuxing alvn http://www.Linux-Consulting.com - - example /etc/lilo.conf for booting hda and hdd - # # Dual Boot config # # see /usr/doc/lilo-* for more info # boot=/dev/hda # map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 # # Boot linux on hda # ---------- image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux-hda root=/dev/hda1 # change partition if needed # append="mem=128M" read-only # # # Boot linux on hdd - slave on secondary IDE controller # ---------- image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux-hdd root=/dev/hdd1 # change partition if needed read-only # # # Boot Win98 # ---------- other=/dev/hdxx1 label=Win98 table=/dev/hdxx # # # end of file lilo.conf
