Okay, let's try something else: Make certain your devices are assigned
correctly. Here's an ls -l of my dev directory, particularly the
/dev/cdrom* entries:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 5 23:34 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root roo 3 Feb 17 11:49 /dev/cdrom2 -> /dev/hdd
Each link was created using ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom and ln -sf /dev/hdd
/dev/cdrom2.
Here's my lilo.conf for giggles:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=0x0f06
default=linux
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
timeout=150
message=/boot/message
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda6
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdk
label=linux-old
root=/dev/hda6
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
read-only
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
unsafe
If it don't work after making similar adjustments to your machine's
settings, I can come up with no other reason why. I guess you'd be SOL.
