Hi,
I'm trying to update the kernel on a hard drive with Linux installed on it. Let's call this HDD1. HDD1 doesn't allow me to boot up normally, so there's no way I can get a shell on it and apply lilo as a boot drive.
I have another Linux installation which I boot from. Let's call this HDD2. I then connect HDD1 to the system that is booted up to HDD2. HDD2 is detected as /dev/sda and HDD1 is detected as /dev/sdb.
I then mount HDD1 on some directory, say /fix, as follows:
Code:
mount /dev/sdb1 /fix
Then I go to /fix/etc and edit the lilo.conf to point to the new kernel in the "image = " section.
How can I apply lilo and write to the boot sector of HDD1 instead of HDD2? Is it the following?
Code:
chroot /fix/ /sbin/lilo -v -v
Thanks.
