Hi... Weird issue here, that I can't recall how I solved it before. Googled sites aren't shedding any light either.
I've got a dell optiplex 320 from an auction...I'm looking to install fedora 8/9 on the box. I've performed the initial installation, where I created the raw partition, and installed the basic fedora OS. I reformatted the drive to be: / primary partition (ext3) /boot 100M (ext3) /swap 4G (swap) /etc/fstab LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc procs defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-sda3/ swap swap defaults 0 0 e2label /dev/sda1 /boot e2label /dev/sda2 / i manually configured the partitions for the drive and got the results above. in order to install/boot fedora, you need to use lilo, instead of grub. so i downloaded/installed lilo, along with the config file for lilo lilo.conf: ---------------------------------------------------------------- boot=/dev/sda map=/boot/System.map-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 prompt timeout=50 lba32 default=linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 label=linux append="acpi=off pci=nomsi root=LABEL=/" initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img read-only ------------------------------------------------------------------- the dir for "/mnt/sysimage/boot" is: System.map-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 config-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 grub initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img lost+found vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 when i do an lilo -v" i get the following err msg: ---------------------------------------------------------- Reading boot sector from /dev/sda Fatal: Trying to map files from unnamed device 0x0001 (NFS/RAID mirror down ?) so... i'm missing something and i can't see it!!! any thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated... thanks -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
