Hi, It would be nice if someone could help me on this:
I have suse-6.3 om my hda and debian-2.2 on my sda. My bios supports booting from either one, by changing boot order. However, it would be very convenient to boot the other Linux version without changing the bios settings! Curreent status is: - Booting debian from hda have been working as long as I had only one target at the sda disk (slink, and nor pormpt etc). Now the boot hangs at LI!! - Booting suse from sda cannot be tried due to errors in finding a valid boot image, see below. Anyone who have gone through this before? The suse 6.3 installation did not cover this case. Also reading the lilo and lilo.conf man-pages did not give sufficient info to resolve this issu (at least not for me). On hda/suse / is mounted on hda6 and /boot on hda1. On sda/debian / is mounted on sda1. For lilo.conf files and info see below. hda/suse63: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The lilo.conf for hda is shown below: boot = /dev/hda default = suse63 prompt timeout=50 read-only image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda6 label = suse63 other = /dev/sda1 table = /dev/sda loader = /boot/chain.b label = debian lilo -v: LILO version 21, Copyright 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger Reading boot sector from /dev/hda6 Merging with /boot/boot.b Boot image: /vmlinuz added suse63 * added debian sda/debian: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The lilo.conf for sda is shown below: boot=/dev/sda1 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=20 disk=/dev/sda bios = 0x80 disk=/dev/hda bios = 0x81 prompt default=potato timeout=50 image=/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 label=potato read-only #image=/vmlinuz.old image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36 label=slink read-only # This is not accepted by lilo: other = /dev/hda6 table = /dev/hda loader = /boot/chain.b label = suse read-only lilo -v: LILO version 21, Copyright 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger Reading boot sector from /dev/sda1 Merging with /boot/boot.b Boot image: /vmlinuz Added potato * Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36 Added slink Boot other: /dev/hda6, on /dev/hda, loader /boot/chain.b First sector of /dev/hda6 doesn't have a valid boot signature [EMAIL PROTECTED]
