crc errors with LILO
OK, I don't know if anyone caught my last post RE this ,but here's a quick
brief:
I have a SCSI and IDE system...the scsi drive holds root, but the scsi
adapter doesn't have the ability to load w/o first having drivers loaded
up. So what I thought would work (as it did with my RH install), was
putting /boot on the IDE drive, and everything else on the scsi drive.
Debian however didn't let me do this, and insisted that the SCSI drive
boot first. THe ony way I can get this system to boot now, is with a
floppy.
So now, I used lilo, and tried installing it on the IDE drive:
silver168:~# lilo -b /dev/hda5
Ignoring entry 'boot'
Added Linux *
now, when I try to boot, it says "loading linux", and then when it gets to
the decompression part, it gives me a crc error, and halts.
I've checked the disk, and copied over the kernel that's on the floppy
(which is good), and I still get the error.
Anyone know how to fix this? I don't like to boot off of a floppy...
thanks!!
