hanging when using linload

[Sander Balkenende]

Hi,

When starting (or trying to start) linux with linload from my dos partition,
it hangs after some mesages about scsi (no scsi devices present on my
computer). I coppied vmlinuz.36blahblah to my dos partition.

below is the dos-batch file shown I use to start linload with parameters.

linux.bat:
smartdrv /C
c:\loadlin\loadlin.exe c:\loadlin\vmlinuz -v vga=-1 root=/dev/hdb1

what can be wrong?

thanks, Sander

I resolved the problem of booting Linux by making my win98 drive hda again
and reinstalled Debian on hdb (at the moment, I am just experimenting with
Linux). This works fine, I have to fine-tune loadlin, but that works.
When trying to load loadlin from config.sys with the [menu] command, it
works the first time, but after that, windoze has rewritten the config.sys
and erased the line that loads linux.bat (which activates loadlin). Has
anyone experiences with that?

 other=/dev/hdb1
 label=win
 map-drive=0x80
   to=0x81
 map-drive=0x81
   to=0x80

   Interesting to see that this works for W9x. Just out of curiousity: if
 you go to Control Panel - System and press the device tab, does it say
 the File System is 32-bit?

  I have problems starting win98 on hdb1 with Lilo. When trying to start
  win (shift, dos), nothing happens. Linux (hda1) starts fine. my
  lilo.conf:

  other=/dev/hdb1
  label=dos

 could it your missing ´table?'

I added the line

table=/dev/hdb

and after doing /sbin/lilo, no result. (message: loading dos, nothing
happens after that)
