Product: lilo
Component: lilo
Summary: Bootloader will not install for mandrake 9.1 beta 2
Version: 22.3.4-1mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P1

ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I was running mandrake 8.2 and decided to upgrade to mandrake 9.1 beta 2. I
downloaded MandrakeLinux-9.1beta2-CD1.i586.iso and
MandrakeLinux-9.1beta2-CD2.i586.iso. The check sum was correct so I burned them
onto cd, rebooted the computer and chose to upgrade when prompted. Everything
worked fine until the installation reached the bootloader section. The
following error was reported:
Installation of bootloader failed. The following error occured:
: Fatal: open /dev/hda: No such file or directory
No options were given to correct this problem. I rebooted the machine and tried
using rescue to install lilo. This failed with the same error. Rescue was able
to restore the windows bootloader and I am currently using windows xp. I have
tried repeating the update several times and the same error occurs. I have not
found a way to boot linux.
I have a 60gb hard drive. 30gb is dedicated to linux and 30gb for windows.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
