Howdy,
I believe this question has been asked before but I couldn't find it
in the archives.
I'm trying to install debian on a Compaq 2500 with multiple scsi disks.
The first disk contains a small Compaq-specific partition and an
NT server partition. The second disk contains Debian. I installed lilo
in all kind of combinations but when I reboot I only get the LI
from LILO. I know this means
"The first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot
loader, but has failed to execute it. This can either be caused by a
geometry mismatch or by moving /boot/boot.b without running the map
installer."
But I have no idea how to solve this.
Any ideas?
My lilo.conf now looks like:
boot=/dev/sda (tried sda2, sdb also, ran liloconfig each time)
delay = 40
compact
root=/dev/sdb1
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36
label=working
read-only
other=/dev/sda2
label=dos
table=/dev/sda
and my partitions look like:
trapist:/usr/doc/lilo# fdisk /dev/sda
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 522 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
