LILO hassles
Hi
LILO gets to 'LI' and then hangs with the IDE disk light on.
I have tried the linear option.
The partition is 900 something cylinders (below 1024), and on a SCSI
disk.
I read that LILO wont work if the Linux partition (or for the matter
any partition) is not disk0 or disk1. Is this correct.
My system has the following disks:
Primary IDE - Primary Disk - 2Gb Disk (DOS and Win95 for games)
Primary IDE - Secondary Disk - CDROM
Secondary IDE - Primary Disk - 8Gb Disk (NT for work)
Secondary IDE - Secondary Disk - None
SCSI - Device 0 - 2Gb Disk (Linux)
SCSI - Device 3 - CD Writer
SCSI - Device 4 - Tape
- If I boot Linux using the NTLoader (on hda1) with the bootsector
from sda1 I get to 'LI'.
- If I set my Bios to boot SCSI before IDE, I get 'LI'
Any suggestions. (Other than moving Linux to hda1)
