Heya, I'm having problems with Lilo and my setup and was wondering if anyone had any ideas.
My setup has a DVDROM on IDEA as master. I have a HPT370a PCI IDE card which has two IDE channels on it, I have two identical harddrives on seperate channels on this card and they make up a RADI0 array so it looks to the OS as if there is only one drive. (2* 20Gb so one virtual 40GB drive) I also have an Adaptec AHA2940UW scsi card with a JAZ drive, 4Gb harddrive, CD Burner and DDS drive. I have Linux and Windoze (just for games!) on the RAID0 array and can multi-boot using LILO no problem. I recently installed Solaris8 for Intel on the SCSI drive, to do this I had to take the HPT370a card out as it seems to grab the BIOS calls for loading the MBR. When I boot into Redhat I can see the SCSI hard-drive containing Solaris as SDC (SDA is the raid0 array which emulates a scsi device and SDB is the Jaz drive) I've added a simple entry to the /etc/lilo.conf file for Solaris, other=/dev/sdc label=Solaris. My understanding is that this will boot from the MBR on /dev/sdc When I run lilo it complains about: Warning: BIOS drive0x82 may not be accessible. When I try and boot Solaris I get L? at the LILO prompt. I've also tried other=/dev/sdc1 and other=/dev/sdc2 My BIOS on the PC is set to boot from SCSI, the BIOS on the SCSI card is on and set to boot from ID 6 (which is the Solaris SCSI drive) The BIOS in the HPT370A card is also set to BOOT - you can't turn this option off. If I remove the HPT370 card then I can boot Solaris no problems. Can I get Lilo to load up Solaris for me? (My lilo.conf file has the LBA32 option set as well) Regards Demian Dixon RHCE Core Technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
