Re: moving to a bigger harddisk - weird (?) problem

[Robert Waldner <waldner@Austria.EU.net>]

ok, I figured it out. for the records, there where several steps necessary:

- an extra append when booting from cd-rom "rescue root=/dev/hda2 hda=49585,16,63"
- _careful_ and __complete__ reading of the Hard-Disk-Upgrade - mini-Howto:
   10. "...With Debian, make sure
   that the "boot" line says "/dev/hda" rather than "/dev/hda1" or
   similar if you want to install LILO on the Master Boot Record."
- now, of course, the rest was editing lilo.conf appropriate :-/

echo RTFM >>$self

I still don´t know why the kernel detects another CHS depending on whether the disk is primary or secondary master ...
