On boot lilo does not find the root device. I can use root=/dev/sda2
at the lilo boot prompt and it will boot correctly. So clearly it's
pointing at the incorrect root device. I've double checked the
lilo.conf file and it says:
boot=/dev/sda
root=/dev/sda2
which is correct. the lilo command runs without warnings or errors.
I ran lilo -v 3 -t and it produced the following:
Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64

<dev=0xe0,hd=227,cyl=57,sct=204>
"ro root=802"
I immediately noticed that dev=0xe0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Sep 23 20:45 /dev/sda

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 Sep 13 05:20 /dev/sda2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 Sep 13 05:22 /dev/sda3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 Sep 13 05:17 /dev/sda4
shouldn't dev=0x82 !!??
Anybody know how I can fix this ?
Thanks,
