When I built my box b4 using SCSI I had
/ 400M sda1
/swap 128M sda2
/use 2gb sda3
/var 2gb sda4
/packages 2gb sda5
/home 3gb sdb1
/usr/local 3gb sdb2
have free space on both sda and sdb with a spare disk (want to use for
mirroring) sdc.
and still got the "LI" error.
what is wrong with the above? it is well withing the limits you have
set.
do I need to make swap sda1? (to me that makes no diff) it appears to be
something with lilo correct? the same layout on ide drives works like a
charm.
