Need to fix boot path
 
Hello, alright, my problem is that when I installed Slackware on my primary drive I had my raid controller disabled so nothing would get confused. Now that I have everything set up I went back to bios and re-enabled the controller which has 2 drives attached running reg IDE. My problem is that slackware won't load anymore, i get an error that the kernal is spazzing out or something. I'm sure the problem lies with the fact that originally the pri hdd was on
Code:

/dev/sda1
and now it's
Code:

/dev/sdc1
. My two other drives are being recognized first. So I really just need to know what files/lines I need to edit so that it will start looking at the right drive to boot. TIA!

Edit the file /etc/lilo.conf as root and change sda1 to sdc1 in the menu-entries. If you have done that launch the command lilo as root.

Awesome, thanks!! That's exactly what I needed to do, and running lilo def helped, i missed that on the first read.. but in the further thinking I remembered I needed to update my fstab too.. now it's running great again. =)
