Hi All.
I have a 5G IDE hd, and 1G Conner HD on AIC 7850 SCSI controller. I've just installed SuSE 5.3 on SCSI disk and lilo on Master boot record with options -- Boot DOS from hda1 and Boot Linux from sda1. On boot I see running "01" string on screen and nothing boots.
I can boot installed Linux from installation CD-ROM (start installed system), but how I can boot it by usual way?
Linux always tries to boot from the IDE drive by default if an IDE drive is present. This is true regardless of BIOS settings - even if you are booting lilo from the master boot record on the SCSI disk! You need to edit the global section of your lilo.conf to swap the IDE and SCSI drives around: # Start LILO global Section disk = /dev/sda # SCSI drive bios = 0x80 # is first in list disk = /dev/hda # IDE drive bios = 0x81 # is second boot = /dev/sda # boot from SCSI drive please #compact # faster, but won't work on all systems. #linear # likewise, dont know if this is best for your system read-only # correct! mounts readonly until system does integrity check prompt # allow manual entry of boot parameters timeout=100 # for 10 seconds before proceeding with defaults vga = normal # force sane state # End LILO global section and then goes on to the bootable partitition config sections I got this from the SuSE help database when I was stuck myself. In other words, RTFM!! That should sort you out OK....
