I've tried that too. LInux will boot fine as long as I forego system commander and use lilo instead. On my pII, I have 2 scsi drives running win98 and one eide drive running linux. If I make the IDE bootable, lilo will boot win98 and linux beautifully but if I make the scsi drives bootable and install sc on it, the farthest i can get when syscommander tries to run linux is "LI" instead of the normal "LILO: " prompt and then it just hangs there. I've tried installing lilo on root and also in the mbr. I've tried installing linux while the scsi drives are visible to the ide drive and also tried without them being visible. I've tried installing linux with the ide drive as master and also with it as slave... etc etc.etc... You name it, i've tried it.. I'm convinced that I'm not looking for a solution in the right place. Perhaps the drives themselves have nothing to do with it. Maybe it's my method of installation... like some option i choose or something. or my computer's bios. I feel useless! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! As it is, I'm happy using lilo. It's simple, it works, but I am very bugged that I couldn't get SC to do the job. IF anyone has an off the wall idea, I'll try that too. --- aprilk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tania Morell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For System Commander just tell Linux to put lilo in > >> the root partition and then System Commander will > >> find it and it will work.
