Okay let's condense this into one thread now
Here's my lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
default="linux"
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount splash=silent hdc=ide-scsi resume=/dev/hda6
splash=silent"
vga=788
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux-nonfb"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount splash=silent hdc=ide-scsi resume=/dev/hda6"
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label="windows"
table=/dev/hda
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-10mdk
label="old_linux-nonfb"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.22-10mdk.img
append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi resume=/dev/hda6"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="failsafe"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="failsafe devfs=nomount splash=silent hdc=ide-scsi
resume=/dev/hda6"
read-only
image=/boot/bzImage-2.6.3
label="Linux-2.6.3"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.3.img
append="devfs=nomount hdb=ide-cdrom hdd=ide-cdrom"
vga=normal
read-only
And my fstab:
/dev/hda5 / ext3 noatime 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda7 /home ext3 noatime 1 2
none /mnt/cdrom supermount
dev=/dev/hdc,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
And I just noticed, something odd is happening with my cdrom drive. I just
tried to install a package, with CD 2, and it didn't eject my cdrom drive
like it usually does, then it didn't detect the cd. It also said insert the
disk into /dev/hdc... But the device is /dev/scd0. This probably has
something to do with the cdrom device config during boot that I mentioned in
the other thread.
