Hello All,
How are you doing today? Good I hope.
I have an interesting problem with my Lilo that I hope someone might have a
solution for.
I have Mandrake 7.2 booting from my /dev/sda SCSI drive and also have an
UltraDMA 66 drive installed and is accessible as well. Currently my Mandrake 7.2
runs just fine and I have made a clean partition on my /dev/hde6 to install a
test copy of Mandrake 8.0 to run the 2.4.x kernel.
The install had gone just fine onto the /dev/hde6 partition for the Mandrake
8.0, and I then added the entries to my lilo.conf on my Mandrake 7.2.
The problem is that when I try to boot the "IC" (Mandrake 8.0) entry from lilo,
it appears that my old 2.2.17 kernel is booted (even though there is NONE in the
/dev/hde6 partition) and then it tries to use the files located on the /dev/hde6
partition from which the kernel cannot locate the required 2.2.17 kernel modules.
My confusion is that when I boot "IC", lilo hould be trying to boot the 2.4.x
kernel from /dev/hde6 and NOT the kernel 2.2.17 from the /dev/sda5 partition.
I have included a copy of the LILO.CONF from my Mnadrake 7.2 so that you can
take a look at, ok.
lilo.conf
