I have a AMD64 PC with 1 PATA disk, and 2 SATA disks. I have installed 32-bit XP in the 1st partition of PATA, and 64-bit XP in the 1st partition of the 1st SATA disk. Now I tried to install debian to using whatever dated images and version (netinst or businesscard), lilo installation fails (I do not like grub). When I look at installed /etc/lilo.conf from chroot environment, I find several reasons to fail. 1. Soft link /vmlinuz is at /boot not at /. 2. Soft link /initrd.img is at /boot not at /. 3. Two identical label of Windows are created. Thus I made the fixes as follows: 1. Remove soft links at /boot. 2. Create soft links at /. 3. Edit /etc/lilo.conf: a. Insert initrd=/initrd.img b. Comment out append="console=tty0" c. Comment out all Windows entry Then I install bootlaoder by # sbin/lilo -C etc/lilo.conf -v It works beautiful. I do not think you people like to eliminate Windows entries. Then at least number 2nd one like Windows1 or so. All the work you developper guys put is really wonderful. I really enjoy the system because of you. Thank you for your effort. Toshikazu Aiyama __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
