nah, I'd love to, but I didn't see that option anywhere in there, just autodetect...
No biggie, I am sure I can find an old hard drive and just put that on the onboard to act as a boot loader, better then a floppy anywyay... just thought I'd ask.. rgds Franki -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:expert-owner@;linux-mandrake.com]On Behalf Of Larry Sword Sent: Saturday, 9 November 2002 2:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] hard disk booting issue IBM PC. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You might try going into the BIOS and disabling the onboard ide controllers. |Hi Charles... | |Sorry tookl so long to respond.. | |I shut down the box to check the apm settings and to see if I could specify |SCSI as a boot device.. | |Its not even an option.. the IBM bios only has autodetect options on 4 |possible ide connections.. | |and no boot options at all. | |I am starting to think that maybe an old hdd could be hooked up to the |standard ide's to instigate a boot from the 40gig.. | |basically use the old drive as a fast boot disk... | |can't think of what else to do... | |maybe i need only put that drive in and put lilo on it.. | |rgds | |frank | |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:expert-owner@;linux-mandrake.com]On Behalf Of Charles A Edwards |Sent: Friday, 8 November 2002 6:34 AM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [expert] hard disk booting issue IBM PC. | | |On Fri, 8 Nov 2002 06:00:33 +0800 |"Franki" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: | |>I've tried installing lilo in different places with different configs, but | |I | |>am not sure what else I can do. | | |Even though the drive is ide and the pci controller card is for ide devices, |because it is a separate controller your BIOS will address the controller as |SCSI. | |Set the boot sequence in your BIOS so that it boots SCSI rather than hd. | |The how too will vary some between bioses. |Some you can set per device; 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. boot device, others you |have to set as a group, i.e.BOOT: floppy/cdrom/SCSI, floppy/SCSI/cdrom |...etc. i.e.BOOT:floppy/cdrom/SCSI,floppy/SCSI/cdrom...etc. | |Then your install lilo as normal. | | Charles | |---------------- |A gleekzorp without a tornpee is like a quop without a fertsneet (sort of). |---------------------- |Charles A Edwards |[EMAIL PROTECTED] |---------------------- | | | | | | | |------------------------- | |Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? |Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE9y/vRGmoP0nUBNzsRAttHAJ0dWIEMKAxnCjmde0beaDDzl9tzAwCfdWhx kgP6KdIe7uNqMSgsQrWJsQs= =tyTo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
