Hello Rich
First thank you for your response.
I do run lilo.conf and copied the first block of /dev/sda3 to NT and
edited the boot file correspondingly of NT. I noticed that the only
difference in the lilo.conf for linux and rtLinux is the line:
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img with linux and no correspondance for the
rtLinux. initrd is a two phase boot loader works ealier than the normal
root file system be mounted. Is it possible that for my rtLinux as I did
not run initrd and hence the root file system can not be mounted.
Do you have suce experience or know how to create the content for
initrd for rtLinux (like initrd-2.2.12-20.img for linux)?
Also the other possibility for my 'file system unable to mount" may due
to my SCSI card that have not a corret driver. Any one knows where could
I find a driver for Adaptec AHA 2900 SCSI card for rtLinux?
Thanks.
