Welp,
I've been trolling through the archives and FAQs and have followed the trials and
tribulations of many a LILOer. Still can't get this thing working.
Redhat 4.2
AMI BIOS (flags for LBA, Block Multisector, PIO, and 32bit support)
1gig Quantum Fireball IDE
10X CD (some crappy ACER I think)
Adaptec AVA-1515 SCSI host adapter
HP C3010 2gig SCSI Drive (this is the real fireball!! ;))
The install runs smoothly, It detects the IDE HD, CD and the Adaptec and installs
everything without any complaints. I have set aside the entire SCSI drive for
Linux. I thought that I should install LILO to my MBR on my boot (C) drive.
This is how I've configured LILO before (given: Linux resided on a partition
of the boot drive).
Upon reboot I got the scrolling death screen of 01 01... After fiddling around
with the IDE BIOS settings I managed to get the new and improved 00 00 ... and
finally arrived at the current LI .
I reran through the install and tried to write LILO to a floppy. I got the same
results as described above (on the IDE drive).
Should I rerun the install and load LILO onto the superblock of the SCSI drive?
How will I be able to boot Linux? I don't mind having a boot floppy that boots
the SCSI drive.
I know if I can get to a LILO prompt I can do the linux root=/dev/sda1 thing but I
cannot get there.
I know I am close and I am dying to get this up so I can start asking PPP questions!!
Thanks for your time and patience,
Scott
