2.2.12 Install Report
Hi!
I tried the current boot-floppies.
Becaus the failure of compact still exists (as reported in the previous
mail) I used the 'normal' ones.
I booted with the option 'verbose' to see all questions :-)
and I ran into three problems:
- Initializing Linux-Partitions:
I selected NOT to be compatible with Kernel 2.0.
I am quite confused about the superblock-backups mkfs created.
Filesystem Size # of superblock-backups
/dev/hda5 144M 4
/dev/hda8 182M 7
/dev/hda9 463M 5
/dev/hda10 1.1G 4
Why are there only 4 backups on a 1.1-Gig partition and 7 on a 182 MB
partition?
- The already known modprobe error. I copy /etc/modules.conf to
/target/etc and it was ok.
- Last problem: 'Make Linux bootable from HD'
LILO installation:
First: My hard disk layout
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 523 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 125 1004031 7 HPFS/NTFS (WinNT Server)
/dev/hda2 126 523 3196935 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 * 126 144 152586 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 145 275 1052226 6 FAT16 (Data-Partition)
/dev/hda7 276 291 128488+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda8 292 315 192748+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda9 316 376 489951 83 Linux
/dev/hda10 377 523 1180746 83 Linux
/dev/hda5 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda8 on /var type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda9 on /home type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda10 on /usr type ext2 (rw)
I use the WinNT Bootloader for system startup, so I wanted to install Lilo
in the root-partition.
I selectet /dev/hda5 to install LILO in /target/ bootsector.
OK so far.
Next screen insists to install LILO to /dev/hda2 (the extended partition)
because hda5 is a logiacal partition.
If I try this Linux doesn't boot.
I had to edit /target/etc/linux.conf.
in my case it must be
boot=/dev/hda5
root=/dev/hda5
this will work. Why dows the setup insist on installing in into the
extendet partition?
