>When booting LILO V20 (on other distro), I get "error 0x02". This is
Sorry, but the error code should have been "0x01" instead. Apologies.
In a README I've found data on error code 0x01:
0x01 "Illegal command". This shouldn't happen, but if it does, it
may
indicate an attempt to access a disk which is not supported by the
BIOS. See also "Warning: BIOS drive 0x<number> may not be
accessible"
in section "Warnings".
Strange. It is /dev/hdb I'm trying to access that leads to the above
error (from the LILO which is on /dev/sda). The machine has an on-board
SCSI card. I can mount and play around with /dev/hdb fine after booting
the distro on /dev/sda.
An fdisk -l reveals the following infos:
Disk /dev/hdb: 16 heads, 51 sectors, 1010 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 816 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 * 1 48 19558+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hdb2 49 192 58752 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdb3 193 1010 333744 83 Linux native
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 131 cylinders

/dev/sda2 2 7 48195 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda3 8 131 996030 83 Linux native
I have also attached the two LILO configuration files onto this mail.
I just can't boot debian (/dev/hdb) from suse (/dev/sda).
Anyone got a bright idea?
Thanks a lot!
