Hello.
First i got WinXP and debian istalled on my computer. That worked fine, but i wanted to try Slackware too. I created a new swap partition, a reiserFS root partition for slackware. Then the problems began. The installation program noticed my other swap partition (te one being used by debian) and asked if i wanted to use these two as swap partition for slackware. There was no option to choose just one of these... either both och none... so i choosed both... is it possible to share partitions between the distributions??
Secondly i accidently choosed to have lilo installed to MBR, which resulted in that when i rebooted my lilo boot menu just contained Linux... nothing else.... i tried to edit the /etc/lilo.conf
but in vain.
The information on all the NTFS partitions and the debian root partition can be mounted so the data is not lost... i just want to know how to make the lilo boot menu to show all the OS:es that i can boot from.
have a look at my /etc/lilo.conf and see if you have a solution for my problem...
Code:
boot="/dev/hda"
prompt
timeout="1200"
message=/boot/message
root=/dev/hda5
vga="773"
default=NT
image="/boot/vmlinuz"
label="vmlinuz"
root="/dev/hda5"
read-only
image="/boot/vmlinuz-ide-2.4.20"
label="2.4.20"
root="/dev/hda5"
read-only
image="/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage"
label="Linux_Compiled"
root="/dev/hda5"
read-only
optional
other=/dev/hda1
label="NT"
image="/dev/hda1"
root="/dev/hda5"
image="/dev/hda1"
root="/dev/hda5"
other=/dev/hdb1
label="NT"
other=/dev/hdb2
label="NT"
other=/dev/hdb3
label="NT"
