Subject: lilo error during installation
Hello. I have a AMD64 PC with 1 PATA disk, and 2 SATA disks. I have installed
32-bit XP in the 1st partition of PATA, and 64-bit XP in the 1st partition of
the 1st SATA disk. Now I tried to install debian to using whatever dated
images
and version (netinst or businesscard), lilo installation fails (I do not like
grub).
When I look at installed /etc/lilo.conf from chroot environment, I find several
reasons to fail.
1. Soft link /vmlinuz is at /boot not at /.
2. Soft link /initrd.img is at /boot not at /.
3. Two identical label of Windows are created.
Thus I made the fixes as follows:
1. Remove soft links at /boot.
2. Create soft links at /.
3. Edit /etc/lilo.conf:
a. Insert initrd=/initrd.img
b. Comment out append="console=tty0"
c. Comment out all Windows entry
Then I install bootlaoder by
# sbin/lilo -C etc/lilo.conf -v
It works beautiful. I do not think you people like to eliminate Windows
entries. Then at least number 2nd one like Windows1 or so.
All the work you developper guys put is really wonderful. I really enjoy the
system because of you. Thank you for your effort.
