The motherboard and/or SCSI card assign drive numbers 0x80 and 0x81 to the SCSI disks, and the IDE disk gets 0x82. When LILO figures out the drive numbers for its loader, it decides the motherboard assigns 0x80 to the IDE disks and 0x81and 0x82 to the SCSI disks. Bummmer. The whole LILO thing just went bang. Can't no do. Arguing with the motherboard BIOS is a waste of time, and LILO doesn't have an option to force it into submission.
There is absolutely no way with LILO to make it access 0x81 instead of 0x82 (though an option for doing this would be nice). I emailed the LILO author about this but never even got a response.
I thought that's what the "disk=/dev/xxx bios=0x82"-type thing is for.. basically telling LILO "when you boot, THIS drive will be there, THAT drive will be here, regardless of where they are now". -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
