LILO--LILO--LILO

Post by colno » Sat, 12 Feb 2000 04:00:00



here is my problem----i have 2 physical hard disks --the primary master
has NT
and the primary slave has LINUX(red hat )--i have LILO boot which has 2
images---x(for linux) and nt.

i wanted to upgrade my linux6.0 to 6.1 and so i booted from the cd-rom ---
but it
would give an error saying that "ext2 file system not found" and would
hang.

so---i disconnected my primary master(NT) hdisk and proceeded with the
installation which was successful.

now , at LILO boot when i give X IT SAYS "LOADING X" and stops....it seems-
the LILO is not able to relate the X image to the primary slave.

can you help me to set the LILO properly.....i will be very thankful.

Start your system from a boot floppy set or rescue disk, then modify
/etc/lilo.conf to look for linux on /dev/hdb (it should contain /dev/hda
now, from the RedHat install). Rerun lilo, then reboot and enjoy...

Hope this helps,

Regards,
Pat
