Knoppix, MD 9.2 and XP - Lilo Probs
Hi
I had my machine up and running with xp and md 9.2. Lilo was working fine.
I used the knx-hdinstall and didn't write lilo as it was already there with md 9.2. Problem i'm having is, i logged back into md 9.2 to add knoppix to lilo.conf
just below the main linux i added the following.
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="knoppix"
root=/hdb5
intrid=intrid.gz
append="can't remember what i put here"
when i ran lilo after this i get an error saying can't find intrid.gz
can anyone help me out here. I tried following the config from the boot disk but i assume this is slightly different, as it didnt' work
setup is two harddrives.
hda1 windows 30gig
hda5(ithink) md 9.2
hdb1 fat32 60 gig
hdb5 knoppix 5gig
lilo is in the master boot record on hda. hdb5 is also mounted in mandrake when trying to run lilo.
Do i have to install lilo in knoppix to the hdb5 partition and point the lilo in md to that?
I'm in work atm hence lack of exact error messages. If these are required I'll post them later when i get home.
TIA

Hello, when running lilo from Mandrake, assuming your knoppix filesystem is mounted on /hdb5 and does not have a separate boot partition, the relevant lilo.conf section should be something like:
Code:
image=/hdb5/boot/vmlinuz
intrid=/hdb5/boot/intrid.gz
label="knoppix"
root=/dev/hdb5
append="can't remember what i put here"
Pay attention to the image+initrd entries, make sure these files exist, run "lilo -v" and watch out for possible error messages. But this should work, I think.

thanks for the quick response. I'll give that a go when i get home, and post how i get on
Cheers
