Hi,
Last night, I (foolishly) added a couple of items (hda=noprobe
hdb=noprobe) to the "append" line of lilo.conf without testing them
first, and now the boot process panics with:
Cannot open root device "hda2" or unknown-block(0,0)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
So, is there any way, at the boot prompt, to tell Lilo not to
append any options? (No help from Google; my Google Fu must be weak
this morning.)
Run lilo again after rebooting :)
Grrrr.
You can boot your system by rescue CDs. Grub CD is one good one.
On my (work-only) Windows machine, Roxio fails to burn a standard
Debian LiveCD ISO to a CD-R disk using a DVD/CD-R/W drive. Most
frustrating.
I guess you found one reason to migrate to grub ;-)
Probably.
An Ubuntu LiveCD, chroot and Google allowed me solved my problem, while
still using the devil I know.
My migration to Grub happened after noting the order of magnitude
difference in time it takes Lilo and Grub to read the initrd.img from a
USB exterior disk.
Also Grub (specifically Super Grub Disk) allows one to be entirely
device independent and boot completely with location files and labels.
If I manage to add 'findfstabroot' to SGD it also does away with
location files and only needs labels.
