Basically, I have two hdd's with the now slave having suffered my first
attempts at Linux and of course, the last 9x going [ WinMe }.
I can boot into WinMe without any hassles whatsoever but am unable to
get lilo.conf right to boot into the old linux9.1 OS I have also
installed on that hdd.
Latest attempt:
other=/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part2 [ My boot partition on
this hdd ]
label="linux90"
table=/dev/hdb
image=/boot/vmlinuz
root=/dev/hdb5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="noapic devfs=mount acpi=ht splash=silent"
vga=788
read-only
I have tried " other=/dev/hdb2 " ( my boot partition on this drive ) and
tried also " other=/dev/hdb2 " [ WinMe starts out as " other=/dev/hdb1 "]
I have made sure that vmlinuz and initrd.img exist on that boot
partition still.
I added the " table=/dev/hdb " but still no go.
So someone want to slap me over the wrist for being dump here somewhere?
Dumb question time - Is this lilo.conf you are working with on the
second hard drive? Was the drive /dev/hdb when you installed Linux on
it, or did you just have the drive with Linux on it in the machine when
you installed it, and added back the Windows drive? Or do you have both
Linux and Windows on the first drive, and you are trying to boot a
second Linux install from the second drive?
