Hi Guys Has anyone tried to setup a dual boot with Suse 8 and 'doze XP ? I only get a series of 01's when trying to boot from hda1 (where XP is installed). My boot disk also only has the option to boot the installed system which results in a string of 0's and 1's again. I am then left with the only option to boot off the DVD and go from there. After downloading the Nvidia drivers off the suse website using yast, I'm not able to use 3D, is there a trick in setting up these drivers as well. My video card is an intergrated Nvidia Geoforce2 board. Thank and kind regards Mark A -- Mark Annandale Suse Linux 8.0 Professional KDE 3.0 KMail 1.4

That's strange, I boot XP and Suse 8.0 from LILO without any problem. IT workedjust out of the box.

Are you using one hard disk or is Suse on a seperate hard disk ? Thanks -- Mark Annandale Suse Linux 8.0 Professional KDE 3.0 KMail 1.4

The "01" means lilo has got the disk geometry wrong. When you boot into linux, try editing /etc/lilo.conf and change "lba32" to "linear" and run /sbin/lilo.
I am then left with the only option to boot off the DVD and go from there.

No particular trick. What do you get when you run "3Ddiag"? In your /etc/X11/XF86Config, in section "Device" is the option "Driver" nv or nvidia? In section "Module" do you have a line Load "glx"? What do you get from "ls -l /usr/lib/libGL*"? regards Anders -- I swear I do declare - how did you get that there?
My situation is similar to the original posters save I am using SuSE 8 with W2K. When booting W2K I get 0x01 displayed in the top left and nothing else. I hesitate to use Anders suggestion as the lilo command gives the error message below: linux:~ # /sbin/lilo Warning: device 0x0303 exceeds 1024 cylinder limit. Use of the 'lba32' option may help on newer (EDD BIOS) systems. Warning: LINEAR may generate cylinder# above 1023 at boot-time. Fatal: Sector address 34007489 too large for LINEAR (try LBA32 instead). Thoughts? Thanks guys, Bill Anders Johansson wrote:

Thoughts?
To avoid the 1024cylinders limit you could also make a /boot partition below that limit.
I tried to install SuSE 8.0 to a harddisk on HDD with WinME on HDA, with the machine booting form HDA. Lilo would give the same as below. I tried the lba32 parameter etc in the bios AND lilo, but to no avail. I reinstalled several times. I switched the drives round and le voila, no problems [after a reinstall of SuSE].

This sounds a lot like the problem I ran into when I tried to set up a dual boot system with 95 and SuSE. Do you have multiple hard drives? Are any of them SCSI? Damon Register
