PassingBootParameter?

2002-03-26 Thread ThomasRatliffDDS
Can't seem to get the syntax correct on passing boot parameter to my kernel with a grub boot disk With a boot disk (?lilo?) ide3=0xfff0,0x,9 works. And from within a lilo configuration append=ide3=0xfff0,0x,9 works. My linux redhat7.2 installation is on

You have to include the option on the kernel line: kernel /boot/yourkernel ide3=0xfff0,0x,9 It's in the doc... [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ThomasRatliffDDS) writes: Can't seem to get the syntax correct on passing boot parameter to my kernel with a grub boot disk With a boot disk (?lilo?)

Perhaps I should have mentioned that I have tried it both ways kernel /boot/yourkernel ide3=0xfff0,0x,9 and kernel /boot/yourkernel append=ide3=0xfff0,0x,9 although I expected this to fail as a lilo specific method of passing arguments. As lilo seems to boot OK grub should

By any chance you don't have an initrd= line in you lilo.conf file for the 2.4.9-31 kernel?? On Tue, Mar 26, 2002 at 12:28:45PM -0800, ThomasRatliffDDS wrote: This kernel is on a UDMA100 60Gb drive and UDMA133controller kernel (hd3,0)/vmlinuz-2.4.9-31 ide3=0xfff0,0x,9 The pci errors

This kernel is on a UDMA100 60Gb drive and UDMA133controller kernel (hd3,0)/vmlinuz-2.4.9-31 ide3=0xfff0,0x,9 The pci errors early in the boot process (scrolling by so fast it is difficult to read) are something like pci: Error while updating region . The last messages look like

I also want to give the hint to `initrd', because you are speaking about the modularized kernel !! So if your `lilo.conf' included the line `initrd' then you have to use the grub command or config initrd /boot/your_init_rd With friendly regards Christoph P. Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer wrote:

Thank you for your suggestion and time. The key to my problem was to explicitly specify the root partition. kernel (hd3,0)/vmlinuz-2.4.9-31 ide3=0xfff0,0x,9 vga=0x0F05 intrd (hd3,0)/initrd-2.4.9-31 boot failed but kernel (hd3,0)/vmlinuz-2.4.9-31 ide3=0xfff0,0x,9 vga=0x0F05
