Trouble with Lilo, Grub, Redhat, and Debian
I'm working on a Pentium III system with two IDE hard drives.
I had Red Hat 8 installed on /dev/hda2, with /boot mounted on
/dev/hda1. Booting via grub.
I installed Debian Woody on /dev/hdb2. /dev/hdb3 is swap, and
/dev/hdb1 is a partition on which I'm building a Linux From Scratch
system.
Debian boots no problem after Lilo installed, however, Red Hat no
longer boots.
I'm not at all sure what I'm doing with Lilo. My problem is compounded
by the fact that I didn't record the grub settings before Lilo wiped
them, and can't seem to mount the /boot partition on /dev/hda1 to find
out the correct path for the image and initrd. (I'm running the latest
kernel as installed by Red Hat.)
Any ideas as to what I need to look at to figure out what I need to to
next? (Anybody know what the image and initrd lines SHOULD say for my
version of RedHat?)
Any ideas why I can't get boot to mount? I enter "mount /dev/hda1
/mnt/temp2" and get "Invalid MFT record 0 Mount: Wrongs FS type, bad
option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems."
Thanks a bunch!
