Lilo question (HW-RAID5)/Error
I have RH7.2 installed on a Compaq Dual-PPro with HW RAID5. It's an old box (200MHz for each proc) but it seems to run ok. I am attempting to update my lilo config and running into problems. Here is my lilo.conf file: prompt timeout = 100 boot = /dev/ida/c0d0p1 map = /boot/map install = /boot/boot.b message = /boot/message default = linux image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10smp label = linux initrd = /boot/initrd-2.4.7-10smp.img read-only append = mem=256M root = /dev/ida/c0d0p2 image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 label = linux-up initrd = /boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img read-only append = mem=256M root = /dev/ida/c0d0p2 When I attempt to execute /sbin/lilo -v -v -v it gives me this: [root@lngi56 etc]# lilo -v -v -v LILO version 21.4-4, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger 'lba32' extensions Copyright (C) 1999,2000 John Coffman Reading boot sector from current root.

Re: Lilo question (HW-RAID5)/Error
Sorry to reply to my own post, but the issue WAS the [dos] file. I copied and pasted the config into a new file in vi and lilo ran flawlessly. Thanks anyway!
