Re: [Cooker] A Downside to Having More than One Linux O/S's on the same harddrive/computer
thanx for acknowledging pixel...glad to hear that i'm not alone on this issue. will think of installing lilo to individual "hda1" and "hda4" instead of just "hda" and having bootmagic to choose o/s's. thanx.

I thought initrd's are supposed to be used when the modules aren't accesible? seb On Thu, 11 May 2000, CPT KIDD wrote: modules? don't understand completely, but yea,, that's teh "main" issue. if they don't load, nothing works... my single lilo install try's to do both o/s's and this is the result..

Kaixo!

Installing in hda is ok; what I mean is using differently named kernel *files* on /boot, and have entries point theur root= to the right partition. So with the same lilo config you can boot either one. THe modules problem is not a problem if you set the root= entry for each one properly. -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://www.ping.be/~pin19314/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0x8F0E4975
[Cooker] A Downside to Having More than One Linux O/S's on the same harddrive/computer
I've got more than 1 linux-mandrake 7.0 o/s's on one hdd. hda1=my main stable linux-mandrake 7.0 hda3=windows hda4=beta 7.1-2 mdk o/s when doing lilo, it complains that bzImage isn't present when in beta o/s or it complains that vmlinuz isn't present from my stable linux mdk o/s. it's very ackward if it (the o/s) isn't initialized properly by lilo, modules won't load correctly and also usually including the system.map won't load. Any Ideas on this? This would mainly pertain to "us beta testers" with the mandrake cooker since having a stable mandrake o/s is usually why we're also doing beta on the side. Hence, 2 o/s's on one computer. btw, when i now do "shutdown (poweroff)" the 7.1-2 does actually "auto-power-off on shutdown"! finally! Also, its' nice to be able to finally make a ls120 rescue diskette after installing! -- My ICQ#: 36645898 - Created with Mandrake 7.0! http://www.linux-mandrake.com
