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 LILO version 21.4-4, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger 'lba32' extensions Copyright (C) 1999,2000 John Coffman Reading boot sector from current root. Merging with /boot/boot.b Device 0x4801: BIOS drive 0x80, 255 heads, 4110 cylinders, 32 sectors. Partition offset: 73440 sectors. Secondary loader: 11 sectors. Device 0x4801: BIOS drive 0x80, 255 heads, 4110 cylinders, 32 sectors. Partition offset: 73440 sectors. 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?
