You got me close; RedHat docs got me the rest of the way. I'm dual-booting to Debian and RedHat using Grub. The key turned out to be a statement at the end of the Kernel statement in the grub.conf file. From the RedHat Docs: kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 Once I added the root statement to t

2003-10-18 Thread John Schofield
I'm working on a Pentium III system with two IDE hard drives. I had Red Hat 8 installed on /dev/hda2, with /boot mounted on /dev/hda1. Booting via grub. I installed Debian Woody on /dev/hdb2. /dev/hdb3 is swap, and /dev/hdb1 is a partition on which I'm building a Linux From Scratch system.

I had similar problem (actually also on 486 33 MHz.) I've solved it by overwriting master boot record. I.e. put in /etc/lilo.conf boot=/dev/hda instead of boot=/dev/hda1 and run lilo again. That should fix it. Sergey. On Fri, 16 Apr 1999, Brian Morgan wrote: > I just got done installing D

I just got done installing Debian 2.1 on a 486 33mhz machine. When rebooting after the install, it hangs on LILO, with the "LI" appearing on the screen. doesn't ever go anywhere after that. Booting from the boot floppy appears to work fine. Is there any way to correct this? I've installed the
