    Problems whit LILO

    Hi, i've just install Knoppix 3.6 in hda1; where i had Wndow$ XP; in the others partitions i have Red Hat ( hda2= "/" , hda3= the rest ). Before installing Knoppix my boot manager was grub, now a have LILO, and i can't make LILO recongnize my Red Hat Partition. This is my lilo.conf:
    label="Linux"
    initrd=/boot/initrd.img
    append="ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us
    apm=power-off nomce quiet"
    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 quiet"
    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 quiet"
    read-only

    image=vmlinuz-2.4.20-8
    label="Rive's Red Hat"
    root=/dev/hda2
    initrd=initrd.img-2.4.20-8

    And i get:
    "Fatal: open vmlinuz-2.4.20-8: No such file or directory"

    Then i read in this forum that someone fix this problem by editing LILO.conf like this:

    image=/mnt/hda2/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8
    label="Linux 2"
    initrd=/mnt/hda2/initrd-2.4.20-8
    read-only

    But i get the same error, What can i do ???

    Sorry about my englis . . .

    This should work indeed provided you've mounted your RedHat partition before trying to run lilo: "mount /mnt/hda2"

    Also if your RedHat kernel needs some startup parameters (check /mnt/hda2/boot/grub/menu.lst), make sure to include them in lilo.conf as well.

    /mnt/hda2 is already mounted; and in the grug/menu.lst the kernell didn't need anything else. Please, any other idea?

    Yes; actually it's probably more like:
    Code:
    image=/mnt/hda2/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 
    label="RedHat" 
    initrd=/mnt/hda2/boot/initrd-2.4.20-8 
    read-only
    Check yourself that the paths are valid before running lilo

    Sorry, whith
    image=/mnt/hda2/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8
    label="RedHat"
    initrd=/mnt/hda2/initrd-2.4.20-8
    read-only
    Now LILO let me go on; there are no errors when i put "lilo -t"; then i "lilo -v".
    I restart the PC and ¡ LILO shows my other kernell ; BUT . . . when i try to boot it i get:
    "mount error 6 mounting ext3
    pivntrootivnt_root (/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd)failed:2
    umount /initrd/roc failed: 2
    kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel"

    Now what ????

    Why i get this errors now, and i didn't saw them when Red Hat was my only LInux. ( I booted it with GRUB)??

    This is my entry for lilo to get Red Hat to boot:

    image=/boot/vmlinuz
    label="RedHat"
    root=/dev/hda1
    initrd=/boot/initrd.img
    vga=788
    append="hdc=ide-scsi"
    read-only
