Hi, I just installed debian for the first time and have run into a problem getting LILO to boot properly. I think it is the standard 'LI' problem with SCSI and IDE disks, but I have tried several things I found on the web, none of which have been successful.
My set up is one primary master IDE hard drive with WinNT on a FAT16 partition and the NT boot loader in the MBR. Then I have a IDE CD-ROM in the secondary master and two SCSI hard drives, IDs 0 and 1. The first SCSI hard drive has LILO on the MBR, a 20G /boot partition and the remainder (4GB) is /. My lilo.conf has boot=/dev/sda and root=/dev/sda2. I have tried disk=/dev/sda, bios=0x80 through 0x82 with no success. Yes, I (eventually) remembered to rerun lilo after each change, but have not seen any change. I also tried booting with a disabled BIOS detection of all IDE channels, with and without the above disk & bios settings. Can someone give me a clue? Is there a way to determine which bios setting I should be using? Do I need to include the bios settings of the other drives? Thanks in advance. Anm
