When you see "LILO", hit the left shift key.
Yeah, this is really strange...
I used to have my linux system on my /dev/hda disk, but then I bought a 30
MB disk and moved the system over to that one. However, the old disk is
still the /dev/hda one, which means that my system is now on /dev/hdb...
Anyway... I made some changes to my lilo.conf and run "/sbin/lilo", however,
when rebooting, I get "LIL", and then the screen is cleared, with a cursor at t
he bottom of the screen (unable to type)...
the strange part, is that if I boot using the old system.. (I haven't
removed the stuff from the old disk YET), and write back the old setting, it
works like it should... (yeah... the root disk is set to /dev/hdb1 in both
cases).
on the new system *all* my partitions are ReiserFS ones, and I'm using LILO
version 21.6, which handles ReiserFS boot disks...
here are two VERY important lines.... (I didn't include the rest of the lilo)
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hdb1
anyway... with boot & root set to this in my old system, running lilo
installs a functional LILO, however doing the same on my new one, installs a
NON working LILO (as I told earlier)..
anyway... the rest of the file is same (since I just moved the whole system
over to the new disk/partitions)..
anyone who knows what might be wrong here??
thank you *very* much!
