LILO woe
I'm having problems with LILO now that I've done the HDD install. I've been using a boot disk until now but I decided to install LILO instead. When I try and run /sbin/lilo, I'm greeted with the following response:
Code:
LILO is unable to correctly determine the device codes assigned to two
of your disks by the System BIOS. Consequently, it seems to have guessed
wrong. The following conflict needs to be resolved with explicit
"disk=/dev/... bios=0x??" lines in '/etc/lilo.conf'.
Fatal: Bios device code 0x80 is being used by two disks
/dev/ataraid/d0 (0x7200) and /dev/hdg (0x2200)
This is a bit of a bugger because these disks are both attached to my RAID controller (PDC20276, currently being used as ATA133 rather than RAID). The two disks attached to the controller are /dev/hde (/dev/ataraid/d0 - Windows install) and /dev/hdg (/dev/ataraid/d1 - Linux). I've never had any problems installing LILO to the MBR of /dev/hde in the past when I've been using Mandrake/RH/SuSE so I'm not sure how to resolve this. My /etc/lilo.conf hasn't been changed from the one created during the HDD install:
Code:
boot=/dev/hde
vga=791
prompt
timeout=50
append = "hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi apm=power-off nomce"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs
label=knoppix
root=/dev/hdg5
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
## A Windows installation, example for partition 1 on first IDE harddisk
# other=/dev/hda1
# label=dos
# optional
# table=/dev/hda
Can anyone help?
