Hi, All,
Thanks for the quick replies. I used Gordon's suggestion to put the
disk=/dev/sda
bios=0x80
lines at the top of /etc/lilo.conf. This worked insofar as now I can
get the LILO prompt when booting off the hard drive. But during loading
(Loading...), I get the error "out of memory -- system halted". The
bzImage is 785 kB. I have 512 MB RAM and 1 GB swap on this machine.
Also, I'm not familiar with initrd. What is that? This is the first
time I've tried to recompile the kernel since (1) adding a
(non-bootable) IDE drive, and (2) upgrading the bios to accommodate
faster processors. Could these events have anything to do with my
problems? One more thing. Previously, when I did recompile the kernel,
I could only boot it from a floppy. Whenever I tried to boot from the
(SCSI) hard drive, I would get a kernel panic error during boot.
Thanks,
Hidong
