Re: Urgent :Dual boot Debian+Mandrake with lilo
It didnt work Kent.
But it has to be mounted before i see it right
So i treid to
mkdir /mandrake
mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /mandrake and then edit /etc/lilo.conf
but i get this error
demo:/# mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /mandrake
mount: fs type ext3 not supported by kernel
so i tried using tune2fs to convert to ext3
i get this error
tune2fs -j /dev/hda1
tune2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
The filesystem already has a journal.
how do i mount and add to lilo
regards,
vijaya
