LILO problems with new HD
Hello,
I've recently discovered problems with the drive that had the /boot and
/home partitions of my Debian box, so I decided to go out and get a new HD....
in transferring the files, I simply copied /boot/* and /home/* to the new
drive, and ran lilo on it. It gave me the message that lilo was installed,
and I tried rebooting. Lilo being's to load, but only goes so far as
"LIL-" until it freezes...in the lilo docs, this says that there is some
sort of corruption of the map files, or a problem with the map
installer. Seeing as these copied files were from a corrupted (suspected
at least) disk, I figure that's the problem.
Can anyone help me in getting fresh copies of the files that LILO requires
for installation? I don't know if they are custom to my setup (untouched
slink kernel), or if they are generic files thatI could simply pick up
somewhere off of the CD's.
thanks in advance!!
