quick question relating boot
what is the location of the arch vmlinuz?
I added the following to my lilo (originally configured in slack) to no avail. image = /boot/vmlinuz #this is where I think the problem is root = /dev/hda4 #another possible screw-up point - arch calls it something else I know, but what? Also, I am currently triple booting Win2000, Slackware, and Arch #(well, trying to), and this lilo was set up in Slack, so I used slack's method of referring to partitions. label = Arch read-only What's wrong? Thanks, Cam |
What error do you get when starting up?
OK, check what partition Arch is on: #cfdisk /dev/hda But Arch uses DevFS, so you could try using that, something like: /dev/discs/disc0/part4 Stupid question, but have you ran "/sbin/lilo" after updating? |
yeah, I ran the command "lilo" after updating (only on my second try though, so it wasn't that stupid of a question). I don't get an error, just a blank screen - I can't even ctrl alt del. I'm going to try to point lilo towards /dev/discs/disc0/part4 instead of /dev/hda4.
I'll let you know what happens, Cam |
ok, using the cd as a rescue disk, I can boot into /dev/discs/disc0/part4 properly (and being my first time into arch, I like it, but I have A LOT of configuring to do - I didn't do any at install time). However, using lilo does not work. I changed the "image = " into "other = " though, and haven't had a chance yet to change it back, so the problem may lie there.
Thanks for your help, Cam |
