Try adding a "default" line to your lilo.conf and see if that fixes the problem. There is a bug with the lilo that ships with RH6.2 and this seems to workaround it. -----Original Message----- From: Scott McDermott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 23, 2000 11:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: raid.lilo patch works (boot/root on RAID1), but no labels on mirror LILO is stock RH 6.2 build (which includes lilo.raid and other patches according to the .spec) lilo.conf: boot = /dev/md0 image = /boot/blah label = something root = /dev/md0 read-only boot and root are both on /dev/md0 which is sda1 and sdb1. LILO works great, and with verbosity, appears to write boot sectors to both sda and sdb. LILO loads just fine booting off either sda or sdb. However, no labels appear (that is, when hitting tab) when I boot off sdb; only when booting off sda. If I just hit `enter' when booting off sdb (no labels, but attempting to use the default anyways) I get a 0x80 (disk timeout) error. Again, everything boots fine if I boot off sda instead of sdb. My current workaround is to just dd the boot sector of sda over to sdb after LILO installs. However, I would like to understand why LILO writes a boot sector to sdb which does not contain any images. I have searched list archives and found nothing about this topic. Any help is greatly appreciated.
