it is a BIOS extension that allows you to boot of a partition thats
located above cylinder 1024. I think it's called EDB or something like
that.

yes.

I think that would be correct yes, and install LILO on hde (I think the
promise-card only tries to boot from primary master when you have selected
SCSI in BIOS. But I'm not sure.

The line "lba32" is for what? I have to ask this because I have never seen
it in an example of a lilo.conf file before.

Also you put "disk=/dev/hde and bios=0x80" to inform lilo that there was a
disk there and its bios address is 0x80. Is this right?

If I would follow your example then I would put:

lba32
disk=/dev/hdf
   bios=0x82

My setup looks like this, I boot from hde
I configured my BIOS to boot from SCSI (I have no scsi-adapter but the
promise card reports itself as one at boottime)

boot = /dev/hde3
delay = 50
message = /boot/message
vga = extended
read-only
lba32
disk=/dev/hde
  bios=0x80

image=/boot/kernel/vmlinuz-2.4.1-pre2
  label = Linux
  root = /dev/hde5

image=/boot/kernel/vmlinuz-2.4.0-test10
  label = test10
  root = /dev/hde5




This works perfectly fine here

Linux booting from HD on Promise Ultra ATA 100

2001-01-12 Thread Stephen Torri

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I'm having difficulty booting from the Promise controller. Here is the
story:

I originally had my system setup with all drives working off the
mainsboard IDE controller (Intel 82371AB PIIX4). The setup was

/dev/hda - ST310232A, FwRev=3.09  (Seagate)
/dev/hdb - 927308, FwRev=RA530JNO (Maxtor) * Linux installed here
/dev/hdc - CD-532E-B (Teach CDROM)
/dev/hdd - CD-RW4224A (Smart & Friendly CDRW).

Well I got an Promise Ultra ATA 100 controller card. Went over to
linux-ide.org and get the patches for kernel-2.2.16. Took a pristine
kernel-2.2.16 and patched it and then compiled it on a RedHat 6.2
system. I then made a bootdisk with this new kernel.

So then I installed the drives in this order:

(Mainsboard controller)
primary master - ST310232A (Seagate)
primary slave - none
secondary master - CDROM
secondary slave - CDRW

(Promise controller)
primary slave - IBM-DLTA-307045 (IBM)
primary slave - 927308 (Maxtor) * Linux install here
secondary master - none
secondary slave - none

The system boots if I use the bootdisk and tell it "linux
root=/dev/hdf3".  I edited the lilo.conf and the fstab for the new
setup. I can log in and do my business with my the linux partition but
when I tried to use lilo to setup the MBR on the first disk (mainsboard) I
got this:

warning: BIOS Drive 0x82 may not be accessible.

Is there some settings that I need to give to the lilo to boot?

Linux booting from HD on Promise Ultra ATA 100

2001-01-12 Thread Stephen Torri

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I'm having difficulty booting from the Promise controller. Here is the
story:

I originally had my system setup with all drives working off the
mainsboard IDE controller (Intel 82371AB PIIX4). The setup was

/dev/hda - ST310232A, FwRev=3.09  (Seagate)
/dev/hdb - 927308, FwRev=RA530JNO (Maxtor) * Linux installed here
/dev/hdc - CD-532E-B (Teach CDROM)
/dev/hdd - CD-RW4224A (Smart  Friendly CDRW).

Well I got an Promise Ultra ATA 100 controller card. Went over to
linux-ide.org and get the patches for kernel-2.2.16. Took a pristine
kernel-2.2.16 and patched it and then compiled it on a RedHat 6.2
system. I then made a bootdisk with this new kernel.

So then I installed the drives in this order:

(Mainsboard controller)
primary master - ST310232A (Seagate)
primary slave - none
secondary master - CDROM
secondary slave - CDRW

(Promise controller)
primary slave - IBM-DLTA-307045 (IBM)
primary slave - 927308 (Maxtor) * Linux install here
secondary master - none
secondary slave - none

The system boots if I use the bootdisk and tell it "linux
root=/dev/hdf3".  I edited the lilo.conf and the fstab for the new
setup. I can log in and do my business with my the linux partition but
when I tried to use lilo to setup the MBR on the first disk (mainsboard) I
got this:

warning: BIOS Drive 0x82 may not be accessible.

Is there some settings that I need to give to the lilo to boot?

The line "lba32" is for what? I have to ask this because I have never seen
it in an example of a lilo.conf file before.

Also you put "disk=/dev/hde and bios=0x80" to inform lilo that there was a
disk there and its bios address is 0x80. Is this right?
