https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=253442 Summary: LILO BOOT LOADER ERROR Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: vincentmr9@yahoo.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I am trying to install Open Suse 10.2 LXF Distro, and I am having a problem with Lilo installing on the root partition. I have two IDE hard disks that are automatically configured in bios, first ide is running xp partition, and second disk will be running linux distro's. I went through the installation of Open Suse and everything works fine until I try and install a boot loader. Neither Grub nor Lilo will work. Lilo States Fatal: raid_setup: stat ("dev/hdb6") Hdb6 is the root partition. Ive tried installing LILO and Grub any were on my secondary disk, and I get the same error, just with a different number after hdb. I dont want to install any linux distro to the mbr, of my windows installation, and I shouldnt have to. I have done this with debian and fedora, and have had success. I use a utility in windows called bootpart to setup boot.ini for booting to any distro I want to install along with my windows partitions. When I run boot part after installing suse, it will not detect a boot record for suse, but will for debian and windows. Which by the way debian was installed after my problems with suse. I can boot to the partition from the cd and it works without a problem. When I run the repair installation feature from the cd I get a error loading boot configuration file. This is the error: Syntax of boot loader configuration_file is not valid. The configuration file contains defective data needed for booting the linux system. I am new to linux, sick of windows, and would like to switch to Open Suse, can anyone help? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
