Dust off your Redhat Linux 7.2 CD's. You'll need them. 1) Boot off the first CD as if you were going to install. Instead of installing, go into Rescue mode.
2) Run 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' This will change your root directory to your / partition. If you're unsure what your partitions are, run 'fdisk -l' 3) From here, try to re-run LILO. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Kadison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 1:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RH vs. LILO Hi all, Can someone help me figure out how to get my RH 7.2 back? I've used a LILO boot diskette since installing RH on my dual boot RH 7.2 / Win 98 system. I recently used Partition Magic to increase the size of my RH / partition and now the boot diskette won't work. I guess it knew the partition layout. My RH partitions are all Ext2, not Ext3 type. Now I need to figure out how to boot something that will allow me to get back into RH and I haven't a clue as to what. I might install PM's boot loader to give me a permanent solution. Is this a viable solution? I have PM 5.0. I've not been successful with GRUB -- it got an exception during the RH 7.2 install. I backed off to LILO, But it would not install on the hdd -- cylinder no > 1024. System is an Athlon 850, 256 MB RAM, 13 GB IBM HDD (ATA66) using an Via-based MB. TIA, Eric _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
