I am installing sarge onto my dell 8600 laptop with problems. I have one 60 gig harddrive and my partition table looks as follows in the installer: #1 primary 41mb (some dell utilities) #2 primary 31gb (to be ntfs windows xp partition) #3 primary 20gb ext3 / #5 logical 123.3mb ext3 /boot (boot flag set to active) #6 logical 1250mb swap #7 logical 7.5gb fat32 (to be shared between windows and linux)
I write the partition table without incident and then I install the base system. But when I select to install lilo as the boot loader it seems to ignore my request. One time i got it in there but you can't select /boot it is some funky stuff like /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part? I don't understand this and I need to be careful about not screwing up the existing dell partition. I tried grub on (hd0, 3) assuming that was /boot but that seemed to fail as well. I would like to dual boot from lilo to linux or xp. Obviously I need help???? thanks -wex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
