Re: lilo stuff -- [ soundblaster sb 16 ]
hi ya markus...
easiest way to get around the lilo problem...
- boot your server with a different media ( floppy or cdrom )
- make a boot floppy
# dd if=/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 )
# rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/sda1
( if your /vmlinuz is on /dev/sda1 )
if it boots...good
- probably wont work...since you're booting off sda1
( you might need to get initrd on it too )
- make sure your kernel ( /vmlinuz) supports your scsi disk
( you'll get kernel panic if it cant find / on your system
( in which case you're 1/2 way there
- otherwise... dig into your "large-disk howto"
- see if the BIOS recognizes your disk on bios boot
- see if you have to set the "large disk" jumper for your hardisk
- probably need a jumper on your disk
- what is the rest of your lilo.conf file???
- do you have initrd=... ??? ( you need it for booting from sda1 )
- do you have lba32 ???
- do you have linear ??
- add each option and rerun lilo and see if it helps booting
innie...meanie...my knee moe.... pick one and start playing...
have fun
