I've installed potato on the second harddrive. Lilo won't boot from the HD (hangs at "LI" prompt). I can boot from the boot floppy just fine.
My lilo.conf and the disk layout are quoted below. I tried adding "linear" and "compact" (interchangeably) to lilo.conf, as well as changing line "boot=/dev/hdc" for "boot=/dev/hdc1", but the problem is still the same. FWIW, I'm using a third-party multybooter (BootMagic), but it picks out Linux installation on the second drive just fine. Also, since LILO does get started, I assume that the problem is with my LILO configuration, rather than with the mutlibooter's. I belive that during installation I chose to install lilo into MBR on /dev/hdc. The drive is an IBM's 13G, connected as an only drive on secondary IDE controller. Root is a primary partition in the very beginning of the drive, and is only 100M big. I'm stuck not being able to use custom kernel. :^( Any input greately appreciated! ,----[ "mount" output ] | /dev/hdc1 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro) | /dev/hdc5 on /tmp type ext2 (rw) | /dev/hdc6 on /var type ext2 (rw) | /dev/hdc4 on /usr type ext2 (rw) | /dev/hda5 on /mnt/slink_local type ext2 (rw) | /dev/hda4 on /mnt/slink_root type ext2 (rw) | proc on /proc type proc (rw) `---- ,----[ lilo.conf ] | boot=/dev/hdc | root=/dev/hdc1 | install=/boot/boot.b | map=/boot/map | delay=200 | vga=normal | | image=/vmlinuz | label=default | read-only | | image = /zImage | label = linux | read-only `---- -- Arcady Genkin http://www.thpoon.com
