12.1 + Lilo + Nforce3 250 = One miffed guy...
Hey all. Been a Slackware guy and FreeBSD nut for awhile yet this one I'm at my wits end with. I have a basic system 2 PATA, 2 SATA on an ECS NForce3 250 mobo which I intend to make a fileserver/webserver however any attempts to get anything to boot by itself other then a live cd fails.
The sata drives are storage only, /dev/hda is my linux drive and /dev/hdb is storage only. Everything is ext3 except on my last trial which I made a 100M /boot partition with ext2 on /dev/hda1. Root is /dev/hda2. I've tried everything I can think of, and the furthest I've gotten has been Lilo 22.x slacks in which it sits endlessly. I only got that after modifying the lilo.conf file to force it a bit. Otherwise is hung on L and eventually came up ID Duplication errors. I've tried the lilo -z -M /dev/hda mbr.. I made an initrd adding ext3. I've never had this much trouble installing anything. Perhaps I shouldn't be too surprised as FreeBSD refused to boot up the install disc. I'm guessing there's something funky about the hardware however there has to be a fix or workaround. Any help is appreciated! lilo.conf: boot = /dev/hda verbose = 2 lba32 noraid static-BIOS-codes disk = /dev/hda bios = 0x80 vga = 773 image = /boot/vmlinuz initrd = /boot/initrd.gz root = /dev/hda2 label = slack read-only -eof- |
Welcome to LQ!
My opinion is "less is better." Try commenting Code:
verbose = 2 Might help if you'll boot one time and post the exact error(s). |
