Bug#62530: boot-floppies: Lilo only boot still not working
I believe I was able to reproduce this bug. Well, partially.
This is i386 only of course.
Situation:
/dev/hda1 -- extended partition
/dev/hda5 -- logical partition -- mounted as root i.e., /target
Run "make bootable" ->
- tell lilo to install in /dev/hda
- dbootstrap complains that root (/dev/hda5) is a logical
partiton, thus we must install lilo in the ext. partition;
all good so far
- so choose /dev/hda1
- lilo.conf is written;
boot=/dev/hda1
root=/dev/hda5
- lilo runs all is good
- reboot
kerblam. I get a kernel panic booting from the hard drive saying that
root is not mountable!
