Slink, Redhat, Windows boot from lilo?
I've looked through the archives, lilo documentation and howtos. I'm
either not understanding this or am not seeing what I need. I have
windows 95 on hda. Slink and Redhat 6.0 are on hdb. Slink's bootable
root partition is on hdb3 and Redhat's is on hdb1. I have lilo
installed now through Redhat. The condensed lilo.conf is:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
lable=redhat
root=/dev/hdb1
other=/dev/hda1
lable=95
table=/dev/hda
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
lable=slink
root=/dev/hdb3
As it is I can boot to all three os's but the kernel I have compiled for
Slink is 2.0.36. When I boot from lilo into Slink at this point it
doesn't boot my custom kernel, which is not surprising since lilo.conf
says "image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15." I changed that line to read,
"image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36" but then I get an error when I run
/sbin/lilo that that file doesn't exist. So what do I do here? Do I
copy my Slink kernel to /usr/src on the Redhat side? If so how do I do
that? I would rather have lilo set to boot directly into Slink first as
I've never used Redhat before. I tried setting up lilo from the Slink
side but didn't get anywhere.
Thanks,
kent
