Hi,
I got a new computer with a SATA drive and try to install linux on it.
To begin, I tried with a liveCD distro which can be stored on a harddisk. It
worked and I have it now installed.
Even if I have only one drive, it was seen by linux as /dev/hdc and my linux is
on /dev/hdc11.
However I cannot boot it. I know how to install lilo on the root drive MBR and
this is the way I normally boot all my linux distros at present. However when I
try to run lilo on this SATA disk, it fails with the message:
FATAL: Sorry, don't know how to handle device 0xf100
The kernel is version 2.6.5 and lilo is version 22.5.
Some time ago there was a message from a guy who was happy because he could
install linux using one of the newest kernels (2.6.10). Is this the way to go ?
I would not like to use a removable device (CD or USB) for booting...
Thanks for any idea.
