First of all: Thanks a lot for your fast help! According to Craig Sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > it sounds like you forgot to reconfigure /etc/lilo.conf to write the > boot record to your scsi disk instead of the ide disk. > > try: > > - power down and remove the IDE drive THAT was it! I can't believe that I actually have to physically unplug all IDE drives to get lilo to work. If I only take them out of the CMOS settings Linux still sees them and can access them. How is this possible? How does it know what type of HDs I got in there? Okay, I guess with newer HD types there are methods to query the disks.
Do you guys know *why* Lilo doesn't like to see the IDE drives? I can't imagine that this is a bug in Lilo. But it's kind of awkward to open the case and unplug the drives if I want to run lilo. Maybe there is another way to do it? I tried to remove all /dev/hd*, but that didn't work either. Anyway, thanks again for the fast help!
