Hello All,
How are you doing today? Good I hope.
I have an interesting problem with my Lilo that I hope someone might have a
solution for.
I have Mandrake 7.2 booting from my /dev/sda SCSI drive and also have an
UltraDMA 66 drive installed and is accessible as well. Currently my Mandrake 7.2

You may be correct, but it would be useful to other newbies, because many or

I'm only guessing what you are asking here . . .
If you mean that your LILO on the hard disk went away,
but you can still boot from floppy, then . . .
Just boot from floppy, the log in as root, and run lilo, by typing
lilo
.
If you mean somthihng else, please ask the question more coherently

Hello,
I can select the proper image to boot in the LILO selections, but the problem is
that the incorrect "vmlinuz" is being booted. The "vmlinuz" pointed to on the
SCSI /dev/sda5 is being booted instead of the "vmlinuz" pointed to on the
/dev/hde6 UltraDMA 66 controller.
The correct "root" fil
Ok, you have /boot/vmlinuz as the image for both kernels. You should
have the two different images listed separately.
Try putting a different image e.g.
image=/boot/vmlinuz-new
in your /etc/lilo.conf file
where /boot/vmlinuz-new is a link to your new kernel image.

I just istalled LM7.2 on my new drive (20GB). It's got a 13GB Win98
partition and the rest for LM7.2. The install goes fine, but LILO doesn't

I believe Windows likes to be the first partition on
the drive, and then you have to set LILO to the MBR
(master boot record). I think FreeBSD defaults it's
loader to the master boot record as well.

Hi,
I recompiled and installed my kernel. After rebooting lilo comes up as
normal. However, after I type in
linux I get the starting linux message and it hangs. I thought it may be my
kernel so I reinstalled the
rpm's for the old one and rebooted. Same problem. I can boot off of a boot disk

In append major items are separated with spaces and minor (within an
option) items are separated with commas. Not sure if this is a
convention for viewing or if lilo actually pays attention to this. But
it works, notheless.

Suspect a lilo.conf line length limitation. Try using the \ character at
the end of a line
and continue the append command on the following line. Make absolute
certain that no spaces follow the \ character or is will not escape the
newline character.

I downloaded and built the lilo SRPM. It seems that on dual processor
systems that lilo can hang the kernel because it ends up overwriting
some of it's memory space. Lilo therefore needs to be compiled with
the LARGE_EDBA option.

Hi all,
I posted my problem in the newbies group and didn't get no answer yet.
So I posted it here.
For some reason this morning appeared a message in my linux box:
"Loading Linux EBDA too big" and the system halts. It is the same
everytime I boot it.
I tried to rescue it with the mandrake inst
Have you upgraded the kernel by any chance? This is usually the
scenario that causes this. Anyway, the easiest way out is to boot from
the install CD, choose expert mode, choose update, choose no packages to
install, then just run through a standard install (very quickly). This
should straighte
To add a bit more: when you changed the kernel, lilo is trying to load
the kernel using the old boot info and what the obtuse error message is
saying is that it doesnt match what it thinks it should be loading. The
cure is to read "man lilo" and use the chroot option to to write the new
kernel in
; and I had to rebuild the symbolic link pointing to the right
file for the vmlinuz file and that was it. It worked charmy.
Thanks folks
