lilo.conf
lba32 # I've also tried linear
boot=/dev/hda # I've also tried lilo -M /dev/hda mbr
root=/dev/hda1
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map
prompt
delay=100
timeout=100
vga=normal
append="hdc=ide-scsi" # this is for my dvd/burner
default=alien
image=/vmlinuz
label=alien
(plus two other images)
hd setup -- you mean my partitions?
When I'm in rescue mode I only have two partitions mounted:
/dev/hda1 / ext2 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
in my fstab file:
/dev/hda1 / ext2 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda6 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda7 /var ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda8 /tmp ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda9 /home ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda11 /web ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda14 /backups ext2 noauto 0 2
/dev/sr0 /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto ro,user,noauto 0 0
There is not /boot partition, no floppy drive and only the one harddrive.
Not sure if that's the info you were looking for,
thanks,
emma
