Hi All,
I've been having some trouble with lilo for a while on this box, I know
this must be a FAQ by now, but I think this might be different. The answer
is usually, "Put lba32 in lilo.conf", but this doesn't seem to work.
I get just L at boot.
I'm able to boot from my bootdisk, but I want to boot properly, and get
these kernel updates installed.
Here's my ide layout:
hda win98
hdb guinness
hdc cdrom
hdd seawolf
Here's lilo.conf, /sbin/lilo, fstab, and df -h:
[root@NIS-968447514 meetsma]# cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b

I've tried linear and lba32, both with the same result. hdd1 is not that
big, so it should not require either of these right?
Is there something wrong with trying to boot from hdd?
Any ideas?
Thanks, Arend
