Hi all, I am currently working on a Red Hat 7.1 system, running on a Fujitsu Primergy - with built-in SCSI.
I've had to move the tape drive from /dev/hdb to /dev/hdd - it's an IDE drive - so I updated /etc/lilo.conf to recognise this (I have SCSI emulation for this tape drive), and ran... lilo -v to rewrite the boot sector. Rebooted, and.... nothing!! apart from... LI on the screen, where my system should be booting! If we didn't have a rescue disk, we'd be screwed !! Fortunately we did have, now we have two!! just to make sure! :) BUT - what has gone wrong? What does this LI mean? Here's what I did and what happened.... [root@server /]# lilo -v LILO version 21.4-4, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger 'lba32' extensions Copyright (C) 1999,2000 John Coffman Reading boot sector from /dev/sda Warning: /dev/sda is not on the first disk Merging with /boot/boot.b Mapping message file /boot/message Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 Mapping RAM disk /boot/initrd-2.4.2-2.img Added linux * /boot/boot.0800 exists - no backup copy made. Writing boot sector. [root@server /]# reboot If anybody could explain what has happened here, I'd be eternally grateful.... If anybody can tell me how to put the system back to booting from the hard disk, I'd be even happier!! thanks for any help, Regards, a "worried" Greg Conway!
