Trouble with LILO, fresh install won't boot
I've installed Knoppix to HDD, Debian-like install, and i got the following errors regarding Lilo:
/dev/mapper/control
pen failed: No such device
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Incompatible libdevmapper 1.00.19-ioctl (2004-07-03)(compat) and kernel driver
part_nowrite: read:: Input/output error
I also get some errors during the "converting knoppix to multi-user" portion of the install, but those are related to removing links from the main bar as far as i can tell. Now, when I reboot, I get a grub> prompt. I can boot to my HDD install by using the CD and the cheatcode "Knoppix root=/dev/hda1 noinitrd ro lang=us". I got the cheatcode from someone in a chatroom, and it seems to work. From there, i open a terminal window, and type "lilo". I get:
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Incompatible libdevmapper 1.00.19-ioctl (2004-07-03)(compat) and kernel driver
Fatal: open /dev/sda: No such device or address
I'm relatively new to linux, this is tragic to me. I LOVE knoppix, and I searched the forums already,a nd asked for help on both yahoo chat and IRC. Nothing seems to work. All input on this would be appreciated, I've installed 10 times now, over 2 days, and every time i get the same message, every way i've tried, and on both version 3.6 and 3.7.
Thanks.
