Dear all
I am trying (again) to set up win4lin on a 2006 box.
Lilo.conf is as follows:
$ cat /etc/lilo.conf
# File generated by DrakX/drakboot
# WARNING: do not forget to run lilo after modifying this file
default="win4lin-2612-12"
boot=/dev/hdd1
map=/boot/map
install=menu
keytable=/boot/us.klt
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux"
root=/dev/hdc5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="noapic nolapic resume=/dev/hdc3 splash=silent"
vga=788
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux-nonfb"
root=/dev/hdc5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="noapic nolapic resume=/dev/hdc3"
other=/dev/hdc1
label="windows"
table=/dev/hdc
image=/boot/win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk
label="win4lin-2612-12"
root=/dev/hdc5
initrd=/boot/initrd-win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk.img
append="noapic nolapic resume=/dev/hdc3 splash=silent"
vga=788
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="failsafe"
root=/dev/hdc5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="noapic nolapic failsafe resume=/dev/hdc3"
In my /boot/ partition - on *hdd1* I have:
System.map.win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk
initrd-win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk.img
win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk (kernel)
Now the odd part, when I reboot the lilo menu presented has a lot of
entries which are no longer in the "standard" lilo.conf shown above. (I
have duly run "lilo" and the entries are added as shown above). On
booting the system waits for a long time (probably waiting for the
default timeout) then boots the *non-win4lin* 2.6.12 kernel:
uname -r
2.6.12-12mdk
Syslog shows:
Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.12-12mdk
Jan 30 16:11:30 horace kernel: Loaded 20751 symbols from
/boot/System.map-2.6.12-12mdk.
Jan 30 16:11:30 horace kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.6.12.
I did play around with grub for a bit, but the console message loading
is _definitely_ LILO 22.6.1
Whether there is some problem with the /boot/ being on hdd1, and / on
hdc5, I don't know, but I did have it all working happily under 10.0,
with different kernel versions of course.
I tried hitting /esc/ as lilo loads and choosing the win4lin-2612-12
version, but still the same result.
Running lilo -q shows the list I would expect, not the one I actually get.
Sorry for being long winded.
Any help gratefully accepted.
