Hi,
I installed a small linux on a notebook hd
(not in a notebook..).
it boot and run correctly if i use the lilo of my
primary master HD, but if i try to install lilo on the
notebook hd to use it as primary master (now its
connected as secondary master on my pc) he get me the
following error:
IN> lilo -r /mylinux/
OUT>First boot sector has a pre-21 LILO signature
<----------->
IN> lilo -r /mylinux/ -v -v
OUT> LILO version 21, Copyright 92-98 Werner
Almesberger
Reading boot sector from /dev/hda
Merging with /boot/boot.b
Secondary loader: 8 sectors.
First boot sector has a pre-21 LILO signature
END OUT ----- >
a possible error could be...:
IN> lilo -r /mylinux/ -v -v -v
OUT> LILO version 21, Copyright 1992-1998 Werner

<END OUT>
.. that he dont like 1027 cylinders (normally not 1024
??)
Please tell me how can i force the mbr cleaning..
i tried <fdisk /mbr> and reformatting HD.
If you know other loaders like lilo that run on
embedded systems, please tell me how to install them
(w/o compiler) and where download them.
Thanks.. i offer a beer to the one who helps me :))
