Hi,

Forgive my ignorance, I'm sure I'm doing something monumentally stupid,
but here's my little tale of woe....

Put 500Mb IDE Drive in a Win98 Machine as a Slave on second IDE
Controller
Installed RH 7.1 to this Drive, installation went smoothly
Chose to install LILO to First Sector of 500Mb Drive
Got LILO Installation Error saying '/dev/hdc1 is not the first drive'
(or something to that effect)
Machine booted straight into Win98 on reboot, fair enough
Tested Booting to Linux from Boot Diskette, no problems

Put 500Mb Drive back into trusty 486
Modified 'syslinux.cfg' to boot from /dev/hda1
Reboot

SysLinux 1.52
Loading initrd.img ...
Boot Failed, please change disk an press any key

I've tried creating other boot diskettes using boot.img and bootnet.img
but I get the same error on either machine.

It's been a long day, and this is my first experience with Linux

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Ciaran.
