Lilo-question
I have recently started to use lilo after a few years of using
loadlin. I have a bit of an unusual setup so please be patient with
my long message. My setup is as follows:
/dev/hda1 redhat
/dev/hdc2 debian (about 8Gb)
I installed redhat after my /dev/hda broke and I bought a new one. At
that stage I was moving and my debian-stuff was packed already. So I
only use redhat to start up my debian.
Debian's lilo complains that my debian partition is to large to boot.
My redhat's lilo.conf looks like this:
boot = /dev/hda
timeout = 50
prompt
vga = normal
read-only
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
image = /boot/debian
label = Debian
root = /dev/hdc2
hdb=ide-scsi
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
label = Redhat
root = /dev/hda1
First problem: Redhat's lilo complains about line 12: hdb=ide-scsi
Despite this problem I could boot debian as default system and my
scsi-emulation on my cdrom worked. I was using kernel 2.2.9 so far.
Last night I compiled and installed 2.2.14 with the result:
vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14
I ran Redhat's lilo again with the same merror message about
hdb=ide-scsi.
Second problem: When I boot the normal way, 2.2.9 comes up as my
active kernel. Why? How do I fix it?
