System boots up and says "LI" instead of "LILO:" and locks up.
After successfully adding a IDE 3.2 HDD to my system (which already has a
2GB SCSI, SCSI tape backup, and IDE CD-ROM). Booting into linux normally,
and fdisking my new hdd for mostly ext2 except 15mb for swap. Then I
foolishly went and did a rpm -U *, on a directory full of updated RPMS I had
downloaded (onto the new disk, btw).
I have boot and rescue disks, but I don't know how to use them. If I boot
the boot disk, then use rescue disk, I can boot the system but I don't know
what to fix. I can't mount /dev/sda1 or fdisk it.
I have tried removing the new IDE, doesn't help. I think if someone told me
how to use the boot disk to access the image on my SCSI hdd, that would
help.
my AWARD BIOS:
boot seq: A,C,CDROM
HDD Sequence SCSI/IDE First: SCSI (scsi is the / drive, but neither SCSI or
IDE switch helps the situation).
What do I do?
