Hi all, I have a small problem I was hoping someone had seen before..
I moved my linux drives to a new computer.. hda before is hda now, hdb before is hdb now.. so that hasn't changed. I couldn't boot from the drive. so I did an expert/upgrade to see if that helped. it didn't I tried reloading lilo to see if that helped, it didn't. I used grub-install /dev/hda with and without --recheck, it didn't help. I removed all kernels, and did the expert upgrade again.. it didn't help. when I run lilo, I get this message: Fatal: No images have been defined or default image doesn't exist. and when I run grub-install, I get this message: grub-install /dev/hda Drive does not have any corrosponding BIOS drive. I have a boot disk and the system is fine when I use that. all services come up just fine. Anyone know how I can fix this thing? the expert upgrade put the standard kernel back on the system, made all the correct files in /boot and everything should be fine, but its not. The bios recognises the drives.. lists them correctly.. and all seems well, it just doesn't work unless I boot from the floppy. The system is an IBM 300PL 233mmx with 160 mb ram. Can anyone offer me some suggestions on how to fix this? I don't want to reload the PC, because I have postfix setup with amavisd and filescan, and amavisd requires the compiling of lots of perl modules and stuff, so its just not something I want to do again if I can avoid it. any help would be very much appreciated. regards Frank
