scenario:
running redhat linux 7.2 for over a year on
preinstalled hd. purchased second drive with w2k
preinstalled. hooked up second drive as secondary ide
drive (hdb), kept primary drive with linux as hda.
problem:
w2k will not boot at all.
all things i've tried:
1. lilo.conf:
prompt
timeout=80
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear
verbose=2
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda2
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
other=/dev/hdb1
label=win
result: Loading win
but nothing happens
2. lilo.conf changes:
added 5 lines (indicated by > ) to other:
other=/dev/hdb1
> optional
label=win
> map-drive = 0x80
> to = 0x81
> map-drive = 0x81
> to = 0x80
result: NTLDR not found
3. lilo.conf changes
replaced
map-drive = 0x80
to 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to 0x80
with
loader=/boot/os2_d.b
result: disk read error
4. lilo.conf change
replaced:
linear with lba32
result: same as #3 (disk read error)
5. made the windows drive the ONLY (primary) drive on
the cable
result????
after finding boot record, the following is printed to
screen:
LI
and it hangs there forever....
I've tried changing jumper settings - the hard drive
is 100g (my bios won't recognize the entire hard
drive, so I have to use alternate jumpber
settings...)....but no setting seem to work.
Does ANYONE know what this LI means?
Please, any help would be tremendously appreciated....
Thanks in advance
