thanks to everyone who responded...
following is a short summary of what I did after reading all of the
suggestions, all of which had no apparent affect towards fixing my
problem...
I have created a separate /boot partition as sda1 which is 15MB, if that
goes beyond cylinder 1024 I've got a really weird disk, it didn't
help...
I did not use -r when running lilo, the boot disk I used was the one
created during the initial redhat install which boots the system off of
my scsi drive, it chroot's correctly
I tried disabling LBA, no effect...
I did not swap drives when I swapped MBs, however the scsi disk has a
scsi enabled kernel, and the IDE disk has an ide enabled kernel, so I
don't see why this matters...
I rechecked the partition tables to verify the bootable flags, they are
correct.
the BIOS boot sequence is floppy first, then either scsi or ide next, (
I've been trying both, I don't care which drive it boots from, as long
as it's not floppy ) whenever I rerun the map installer, I install to
both /dev/hda and /dev/sda
I added the linear keyword, again no effect.
I re-read the lilo README file, the only thing I gleaned from it that I
haven't tried is including my disk geometry into lilo.conf ( ugh, i
don't know where I'd get this info from ), and it would seem odd to have
to do this, as linux booted fine off of these exact hard drives before
switching boards...
the windows 98 installation on hda is unbootable, it broke pretty badly
when i switched boards, and I haven't cared about it enough to fix it
yet... does this matter?
any other ideas?
