Re: [PLUG] lilo question


Hello Jeff
You say you were able to boot from your sda in the past.
I assume you installed new hda, booted from your sda and
installed RH on hda. Then you ran lilo.
If so, at that time BIOS address of your hda was not 0x80 as it should,
but something unclear ( depends on your SCSI card BIOS ).
Read about disk= parameter in LILO docs. It is about the address
of your disk as BIOS will see it at _boot_ time.
Also, in your master BIOS set IDE ( or C: as it will probably say )
as your primary boot device. This way, BIOS will access hda as 0x80 device.

HTH.

Sergey Ostrovsky.
