Hi,
I'm having the same problem. I am not running RAID, but I do have 7 devices, 4 on the 2 regular channels and 3 on the 2 HPT channels (one slave is empty).
It's complaining about the following:
Code:
root@knoppix-klb:~# /sbin/lilo
Warning: Unable to determine video adapter in use in the present system.
Added Linux *
Skipping /vmlinuz.old
Added Other(hdg1)
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 0x81 is being used by two disks
/dev/hdg (0x2200) and /dev/hde (0x2100)
root@knoppix-klb:~#
I tried uncommenting both of the "bios" lines (first the first, then both) and it still gave me the same error. As the original poster said, I have a boot floppy which I can continue to use but I'd like to be able to configure it to boot from the hard drive. What am I doing wrong?
The "bios" lines are:
Code:
#disk=/dev/hde
# bios=0x81
#disk=/dev/sda
# bios=0x80
Only one of them refers to one of the drives in conflict (hde and hdg), but I don't want to break anything so I'm stopping here.
Why would two drives have the same device code? Windows 2000 doesn't complain about it (for reference, not to start a flame war).
If you need further information about my system I'll be happy to provide it. Thanks!
