Bert,
You have a mixed hard drive environment. LILO get confusxzeded as to which
root partition to write to.
Look at my LILO.conf:
disk=/dev/sda
bios=0x80
disk=/dev/hda
bios=0x81
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
message=/boot/message
linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16-22.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda6
The first four lines tells lilo which drive is which. If your booting IDE
first then swap the two addresses to:
disk=/dev/sda
bios=0x81
disk=/dev/hda
bios=0x80
boot=/dev/sda
.......etc...
......etc..
The Multi-OS boot HOWTO had this little secret in it! I don't think RH adds
these "safety" lines to lilo.conf but maybe they should.
