" added Linux* skipping /boot/vmlinuz.suse added /windows (dual boot) fatal open /boot/memtest.bin No such file or directory"
When I rebooted it failed at LI. Had to reboot with a floppy
Why did you ignore this error? I'm sure it also said it didn't write lilo so that should've given you ample warning not to reboot just yet.. Does the memtest.bin file actually exist in the /boot directory on your machine?
and then edited lilo.conf by removing the memtest line. Then rebooted properly. But, without the two options of failsafe and memtest. Again does the file (kernel) vmlinuz.suse exist in the /boot dir?
Fixed that already.
Soooo......Can anybody explain why, or help me get back those two options in the Lilo menu? lilo.conf still shows the failsafe label, but does not show it in the menu, and of course the memtest86 label is gone because I removed it to make it boot. (see above original post)
Hmmmm if the files are there, then I am not sure. If they are not there, you need to put the files there, edit the lilo.conf file and run lilo. It seems like the bootloader cannot find the above files. This is a guess on my part. I'm sure others with more experience with Suse (Linux in general) can help. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, We just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
