Guys
Im having trouble with lilo on a RH 6.1 install. Its a 2.1G(C/H/S =
4092/16/63) drive so I have a small /boot partition /dev/hda1.
the RH install didn't set any partitions as bootable so i fixed this with
fdisk after booting off the floppy.
this gave me a curious "device in use" message but did seem to set the
partition as bootable.
here is the partition table.
Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 1023 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 9 18112+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 10 1023 2044224 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 10 42 66496+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda6 43 1023 1977664+ 83 Linux
I have tried every combination of lilo.conf I can think of including boot =
/dev/hda, linear, and this one:
boot = /dev/hda1
timeout = 10
prompt
disk = /dev/hda
bios = 0x80
sectors = 63
heads = 16
cylinders = 4092
default = linux
vga = normal
read-only
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
label = linux
initrd = /boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
root = /dev/hda6
any ideas?
