Just tried again with following your advices very closely. However still
does not work. At the end of installation, installer reports on red
background that SILO returned with error code 1 at "Install the SILO
boot loader on a hard disk". I invoked a shell from installer, than
issuing "chroot /target". I see:
sh-3.1# silo
/etc/silo.conf appears to be valid
Fatal error: File systems other than ext2, ext3, ufs and romfs not yet supporte
Content of /etc/silo.conf:
root=/dev/md2
partition=0
default=Linux
read-only
timeout=100
append="quiet splash"
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
initrd=/initrd.img
image=/vmlinuz.old
label=LinuxOLD
initrd=/initrd.img.old
parttab of sda (sdb is the same):
Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 0 2 16065 83 Linux native
/dev/sda2 2 33 249007+ fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda3 0 8924 71682030 5 Whole disk
/dev/sda4 33 519 3903795 fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda5 519 1492 7815622+ fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda6 1492 8924 59697540 fd Linux raid autodetect
sda1 is unused, sda2 and sdb2 forms md0 which is /boot
Interesting line from output of "strace silo":
open("/dev/sda2", O_RDONLY) = 8
[...]
Why does silo want to use /dev/sda2 when it should use /dev/md0 ?
I don't know silo very closely so maybe I've missed something again, though I
used only installer to do these, and also I follow your advices.
