Hi,
Got an oddity. Done a poor-mans install to an HD, yet when I add info re Windows for dual-booting I get lilo errors and - through the partition is listed on next boot - boot Windows it does not.
Hardware is Asus AMD nForce2 mb. All works fine using the live CD.
HD layout is a bit odd, due to evil WD disk refusing to be a Master. Anyhow I've got:
hda - LG combo CDROM/DVD/CDRW
hdb - WD 80g HD (Windows98SE) Boot via MBR
hdc - Maxtor 10g HD - Knoppix 3.6 Boot via MBR
hdd - empty
Installed Knoppix 3.6 with 2.6 series kernel to hdc. BIOS is set to boot hdc 1st. Knoppix runs fine from HD. With hdc (Knoppix) HD removed, Windows by itself gets booted fine; so we know both HD's are happy and bootable.
Added Windows thus to lilo.conf as root, giving:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="Linux"
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off nomce vsync=95 screen=1280x1024 lang=uk"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27
label="Linux(2.4)-1"
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.27
append="ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off nomce v
sync=95 screen=1280x1024 lang=uk"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7
label="Linux(2.6)-2"
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.7
append="ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off nomce vsync=95
screen=1280x1024 lang=uk"
read-only
other=/dev/hdb1
label="Win98SE"
lilo then throws errors as this cut/paste from console shows:
root@asus4box:/etc# lilo
/dev/mapper/control: open failed: No such device
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
/dev/mapper/control: open failed: No such device
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Incompatible libdevmapper 1.00.19-ioctl (2004-07-03)(compat) and kernel driver
Added Linux *
Added Linux(2.4)-1
Added Linux(2.6)-2
Added Win98SE
On reboot, Debian boot splash shows all these bootable areas & will boot Linux default fine.
Asking it to boot Win98SE results in a blank screen for 3-4 seconds, then in top LH corner the message:
Loading Win98SE
and that's it. Hangs forever.
Hows do I fix this one??
Thanks!
