Yesterday my Lilo blew up, I'm not sure why. I have a removable hard
drive, took it out and installed L/M 7.0 on another drive for another
machine and then replaced the original. Unable to run, got the "LI" and
nothing. I was able to boot using the bootdisk, reran "/sbin/lilo" and
got the response "Added linux *" Then "Partition entry not found".
My disk is a dual boot disk with Win98 and L/M 7.0 with:
/boot hda5
/ hda6
/home hda8
/swap hda7 (?)
partitions. I have the following /etc/lilo.conf file (built by KLILO)
boot=/dev/hda
read-only
prompt
timeout=150
vga=normal
image=/boot/vmlinuz
root=/dev/hda6
label=linux
append=""
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
table=/dev/hda
other=/dev/hda1
label=windows
table=/dev/hda
and a /etc/lilo.conf.cdl file that reads:
boot=/dev/hda6
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
default=linux
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
timeout=150
message=/boot/message
other=/dev/hda1
label=windows
table=/dev/hda
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
unsafe
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda6
append=""
read-only
How can I recover to get lilo to boot my computer? I'm not sure what I
need to edit to get where I need to go. I have looked at the archives
and online Lilo info without much luck
