"LI" for LILO or loading from a second harddrive
I've installed potato on the second harddrive. Lilo won't boot from
the HD (hangs at "LI" prompt). I can boot from the boot floppy just
fine.
My lilo.conf and the disk layout are quoted below. I tried adding
"linear" and "compact" (interchangeably) to lilo.conf, as well as
changing line "boot=/dev/hdc" for "boot=/dev/hdc1", but the problem is
still the same.
FWIW, I'm using a third-party multybooter (BootMagic), but it picks
out Linux installation on the second drive just fine. Also, since LILO
does get started, I assume that the problem is with my LILO
configuration, rather than with the mutlibooter's.
I belive that during installation I chose to install lilo into MBR on
/dev/hdc.
The drive is an IBM's 13G, connected as an only drive on secondary IDE
controller. Root is a primary partition in the very beginning of the
drive, and is only 100M big.
I'm stuck not being able to use custom kernel. :^( Any input greately
appreciated!
