Edit the GRUB to make LILO-using distro to boot????
 

Got a pretty basic question the solution of whitch I can t find anywhere...what do I add in the grub of ubuntu(or anything Grub-y) in order to get a lilo-using distro to work...

for the time being I ve edited my grub with that:

title Zenwalk
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.4 root=/dev/hda6 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.splash

When trying to boot zenwalk I get:Error 11:cannot recognize device string.

Any ideas??

If you install lilo to the root partition of Zenwalk (instead of the MBR), you can just useSee Saikee's grub booting tips in my signature for more info.

I expect you are getting that error because of this entry in your menu.lst

The line should look something like below, not a splash file.

I'd recommend pljvaldez' method, simplest and should work.

also it is /dev/sda6 not hda6

First of all,THanks for your quick responses.Secondly...Amani and yancek,i did the changes you recommend...no effect.Yancek you suggest "-16" after the kernel.I don't have that...what does it mean?my ubuntu have an "-8"

pljvaldez,i read the guide and if I got it right ,you re sayng i should have lilo working.if i do i can treat zenware like a windows partition.Thing is,I haven't installed LILO for the fear of conflicts with grub....

i installed lilo,by reinstallin zenwalk.i put it in the superblock.(the command lilo -b etc wasn t working...)My only problem now is that on the chainloading i must add noapic....
