I have RH7.2 installed on a Compaq Dual-PPro with HW RAID5. It's an old box (200MHz
for each proc) but it seems to run ok. I am attempting to update my lilo config and
running into problems. Here is my lilo.conf file:
prompt
timeout = 100
boot = /dev/ida/c0d0p1
map = /boot/map
install = /boot/boot.b
message = /boot/message
default = linux
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10smp
label = linux
initrd = /boot/initrd-2.4.7-10smp.img
read-only
append = " mem=256M"
root = /dev/ida/c0d0p2
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10
label = linux-up
initrd = /boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img
read-only
append = " mem=256M"
root = /dev/ida/c0d0p2
When I attempt to execute /sbin/lilo -v -v -v it gives me this:
[root@lngi56 etc]# lilo -v -v -v

Merging with /boot/boot.b

Syntax error near line 2 in file /etc/lilo.conf
Removed temporary file /boot/map~
It doesn't seem to matter what line 2 is. I've rearranged the lilo.conf file around
in everywhich way...
Here's the last intriguing tidbit: When I edit /etc/lilo.conf, vi puts the [dos] tag
at the bottom of the screen.... Would this make a difference?
Thanks all,
Matt
