Hi all,With this setup, you do not need to install lilo for Suse92 at all. You are using the version of lilo you installed when you installed Mandrake to boot Suse. If you want to use the version of lilo you installed on hda10, then use this:
For those of you who are interested in installing Linux on extended partition (or in MS terms we call it logical drive), I've successfully do it on installing Suse92 on hda10, where there is already MS Windows, and Mandrake. Here's the brief steps:
1. Install Windows (with 2 partitions in my case)
2. Install Mandrake on its own partition (with 5 partitions in my case, with 1 partition I call /data --> hda10)
3. Install Suse92 on /data. This is the caveat: -- choose LILO (you can use grub too, but I don't know yet the syntax), -- install LILO on the root partition of /hda10, -- format hda10 with any filesystem as long as Mandrake can read it. Suse will reboot once we finish the first installation step.
4. When rebooted, go into Mandrake. Modify /etc/lilo.conf with this:
image=/data/boot/vmlinuz
label="Suse92"
root=/dev/hda10
initrd= /data/boot/initrd
vga=788
read-only
Modify the above lines that suits your environment. Run lilo -v to see if there's any error. If there isn't, you good to go. Reboot.
You will see in the LILO menu that there's Suse92 entry. Choose it, and....
Voila! You've got Suse92! You dont even bother to create swap partition, Suse will use the swap from Mandrake.
I've made an artikel about it in http://linux2.arinet.org (Indonesian) HTH.
other=/dev/hda10
lable="Suse92"When you pick this option, it will transfere control over to the new version of lilo.
The way you have it set up, if you update the kernel in Suse, you then have to boot Mandrake, update /etc/lilo.conf, and run lilo before you can boot the new kernel in Suse. Also, if you want to have more then one kernel in Suse, you will have to add the entries in the Mandrake copy of lilo.conf, and run lilo from Mandrake. Also, if you wipe out the boot partition in Mandrake, you will not be able to boot Suse from the hard drive.
