1. LILO + windows on a SCSI drive + linux on an IDE drive
Hi,
A friend of mine just installed Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 on his system.
It's working fine, however now his Windows drive won't boot.
The setup is as follows: a Supermicro motherboard with built in IDE and
SCSI controllers, the later of which is an Adaptec AIC 7880 UltraW with
Bios version 1.24. He's got an 8.1 gig Seagate drive at ID0 on the scsi
controller, containing Windows 95. (There's also a CD ROM on ID4, if
that's signifigant.) Then he's got Linux on a regular IDE drive, which
the BIOS has been flagged to boot.
Windows boots fine if he tells the BIOS to boot the SCSI drive, and
Linux works fine when booting from the IDE, but it's rather a big pain
to have to go into the BIOS every time. When he selects the windows
drive from the LILO prompt, it blanks the screen and locks the system
(eg, numlock won't toggle on and off).
His lilo.conf is as follows:
#
# general section
#
boot = /dev/hda1
install = /boot/boot.b
message = /boot/message
prompt
# wait 20 seconds (200 10ths) for user to select the entry to load
timeout = 200
#
# default entry
#
image = /boot/vmlinuz-pc97-2.2.10-modular
label = linux
root = /dev/hda1
read-only
append = "debug=2"
#
# additional entries
#
other = /dev/sda1
label = dos
table = /dev/sda
Any thoughts much appreciated. I've used LILO plenty before, but never
with any SCSI drives, so I don't know what to do next.
Thanks!
