Hi,

I moved my second hard disk from secondary master to secondary slave
hoping to make my cdburner work (without success); the trouble is that I
installed RH7 for tests on that disk (as /dev/hdd2) and the system doesn't
like it.

In detail:

- This partition worked really well when the disk was connected as sec
  master

- Lilo into my "work installation: /dev/hda4":

I added these 2 lines to boot /dev/hdd2:

boot=/dev/hda       #MBR
......
other=/dev/hdd2
        label=rh70_test


but when I launch "lilo -v" I get:

...........
Boot other: /dev/hdd2, on /dev/hdd, loader /boot/chain.b
Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible
Added rh70_test
...........

- Lilo into my "tests installation: /dev/hdd2":

boot=/dev/hdd2      #First sector of the partition
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=0
message=/boot/message
default=linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
        label=linux
        read-only
        root=/dev/hdd2

- When I choose rh70_test at boot time I get:

ERROR 0X01

- Bios recognize this disk at startup
- both /dev/hdd1 and /dev/hdd3 (vfat)  works


My questions are:

1) Is it possible to install linux on a sec slave disk?

2) What does "Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible" means? My hd
works .... I tried it.  This message doesn't appear if I connect this disk
as sec master, or elsewhere (but sec slave :p).

3) What does "ERROR 0X01" means?


thank you

Massimo
