Hi,
I had a problem when installing Debian 2.2 rev
0.
During the installation of LILO, the program asked me where to install it; when I chose /dev/hda, the reply was: "The boot partition is a logical partition ... Please select the partition to use. (/dev/hda2: DOS Extended)". I think my Bios full supports my 10 GB HD because I
see 10 GB when I run it.
I have a 3 GB bootable primary partition for Windows (system) = hda1 and a 1.5 GB logical partition for Windows data = "" (both FAT32); I made swap partition (= hda7) and a Linux native partition in the remainder of the HD (= hda6). Of course, during the installation cfdisk showed me that hda5, hda6 and hda7 are logical partitions and hda1 is a bootable primary partition. I tried also to change Windows' filesystem from
FAT32 to FAT32 (LBA) in both hda1 and hda5 with Debian fdisk and then re-install
Debian, but the result was the same.
What can I do to install correctly LILO during
Debian installation?
Thanks, Franco
