I re-installed my rh5.0 leaving unused space I had intended to assign to a dos
partition later using linux fdisk. (would not install when I used druid to define a
DOS>32m partition from the start)
When I got the very end of the install it worked fine, then re-booted, instead of the
Lilo prompt, it gave me LI then froze up...
So, I read the manual, went into rescue mode, mounted my root partition using
"Mount -t ext2 /dev/dha1 /mnt" and looked in the /etc directory where lilo.conf
resides (I saw it using ls) assuming I just needed to run lilo and life would be
wonderful. When I try to run lilo though, it tells me
/etc/lilo.conf not found.
So I tried explicitly /mnt/etc/lilo no luck. Remounted /hda1 as /etc and still no
luck
I am obviously not getting it...
Is re-running lilo the ticket here ? Why can't I run lilo ? Why am I getting hung up
all these times? When I install, but account for all space on the disk, (ie., making
spare space extended partiition) it boots up fine. When I use disk druid to define a
DOS > 32m partition it also does not install.
Is it really supposed to be this difficult...? Or are these idiosyncrasies of Linux
install?
