OK, I hate to bug everyone with yet another lilo question, but
I couldn't find anything about this on the archive. I've
been installing new kernels and stuff to get the USB support.
Of course, after each compile, I run lilo to load the
updated kernel image. Currently, I have my good, working kernel
(2.2.5), my experimental development kernel (2.3.50), my
experimental stable kernel (2.2.14), and my DOS partition
listed in my lilo.conf. Well, everything has worked fine over
the last week and multiple test kernels. But yesterday
I recompiled my 2.3.50 kernel and tried to run lilo, and
I got this error message:
"Can't put the boot sector on logical partition 0x305".
Where the hell did this come from? I'm not doing anything different.
Every time I remake my kernels, I do it in the stable kernel (2.2.5).
For reference, here are my partitions/drives:
hda1 DOS
hda5 ext2 mounted on /
hda6 ext2 on /home
hda is a single 10 GB divided into three partitions. 5GB is for
Win98, and the other 5GB is split between / and /home.
Running lilo has never given me problems before, so why now?
Do I need to specify to lilo which partition to put the kernel on?
If so, I'm scared to do that without a second opinion.
Thanks and more thanks,
Dave
