IDE hard drive is set in bios to be the boot drive - also have 2 SCSI controllers (won't boot linux - AHA 131) but will boot from floppy disk. All I get is "Unable to load OS" (unless I insert floppy and hit a key) ***** lilo is: map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 message=/boot/message #linear default=linux disk=/dev/hda lba32 # bios=0x80 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 label=linux initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.2-2.img read-only root=/dev/md2 ***** /boot looks good (/dev/hda1) > ls -l /boot total 7230 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Mar 11 23:44 System.map -> System.map-2.4.2-2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 410990 Mar 11 22:34 System.map-2.4.2-2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 426402 Mar 11 22:34 System.map-2.4.3-12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 Mar 11 22:42 boot.0300 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 Mar 11 22:34 boot.0800 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 Mar 11 22:34 boot.0801 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 Mar 11 22:59 boot.0902 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5824 Mar 11 22:34 boot.b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 612 Mar 11 22:34 chain.b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 377876 Mar 11 22:34 initrd-2.4.2-2.img lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Mar 11 22:34 kernel.h -> kernel.h- 2.4.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 405 Mar 11 22:34 kernel.h-2.4.2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Mar 11 22:33 lost+found -rw------- 1 root root 16384 Mar 11 23:27 map -rw------- 1 root root 16384 Mar 11 22:34 map.0801 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23108 Mar 11 22:34 message lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 11 22:34 module-info -> module- info-2.4.3-12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13598 Mar 11 22:34 module-info-2.4.2-2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13598 Mar 11 22:34 module-info-2.4.3-12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 640 Mar 11 22:34 os2_d.b -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2280836 Mar 11 22:34 vmlinux-2.4.2-2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2174722 Mar 11 22:34 vmlinux-2.4.3-12 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Mar 11 22:34 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz- 2.4.3-12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 781806 Mar 11 22:34 vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 792853 Mar 11 22:34 vmlinuz-2.4.3-12 ***** dmesg (relevant area) ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfc90-0xfc97, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xfc98-0xfc9f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio hda: Maxtor 91360U4, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hda: 26588016 sectors (13613 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=46825/247/38, UDMA(33) Partition check: hda: [PTBL] [1655/255/63] hda1 hda2 Anyone care to give me a hint on what I have to do to lilo to make it work?
