Hi all,
Been awhile (day or 2) since seeing LI on the list.
PROBLEM: LI and hangs at boot.
linear is installed in /etc/lilo.conf
Just added a new drive (Maxtor 4.3G)
Details:
Award BIOS (2A5IDE19)
Sees the drive ok:
TYPE SIZE CYLS HEAD PRECOMP LANDZ SECTOR MODE
User 4320 8930 15 65535 8929 63 NORMAL
Tried LBA and LARGE. Same "LI" and hang.
Boot on old drive and fdisk, mke2fs, tar cp to new drive
went very well.
Here is the drive after fdisk:
Disk /dev/hdc: 15 heads, 63 sectors, 8930 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 945 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 1 1 1024 483808+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hdc2 1024 1025 2650 768285 83 Linux native
/dev/hdc3 2048 2651 4870 1048950 83 Linux native
/dev/hdc4 4096 4871 8930 1918350 5 Extended
/dev/hdc5 4096 4871 5148 131323+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdc6 5120 5149 5690 256063+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hdc7 5120 5691 6774 512158+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hdc8 6144 6775 8400 768253+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hdc9 8192 8401 8671 128016 83 Linux native
/dev/hdc10 8192 8672 8930 122346 83 Linux native
Can't figure out the + after each block size? Have
played with different sizes and can't figure out the
mathematics to get around them. <scratch,scratch>
Moving this to /dev/hdb once bootable to get rid of an old
mistake:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hdb1 991000 820274 119522 87% /
After reading lots of /usr/doc/* stuff(tm) I figure I'll try
handing LILO hdb=8930,15,63 in the /etc/lilo.conf file unless
someone has a better suggestion.
Thanks all,
Rick
