LILO question
I have a third entry(hda1) on my LILO prompt that is useless (don't know how come it got there),and also i would like to ask you why do i get :
Boot : linux Loading : linux... you just passed an undefined mode press <space> or <return>... (how can i fix this to be abble to just load it ) BTW : Mephisto said on athread i started : "We probably want to get you off the vesa framebuffer before we worry about the monitor resolution." why is that ? I looked on vga and vesa man pages but they tell about the same thing , is there any problem running a vesa driver ? here is my /etc/lilo.conf file : bash-2.05a# cat /etc/lilo.conf # LILO configuration file # generated by 'liloconfig' # # Start LILO global section boot="/dev/hda" message = /boot/boot_message.txt prompt timeout="1200" # Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table: change-rules reset # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k # Normal VGA console # vga = normal # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k # vga=791 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k # vga=790 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 # vga=773 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k # vga=788 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k # vga=787 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256 # vga=771 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k # vga=785 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k # vga=784 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256 # vga=769 # End LILO global section # DOS bootable partition config begins other = /dev/hda1 label="DOS" table = /dev/hda # DOS bootable partition config ends # Linux bootable partition config begins image="/dev/hda1" image="/dev/hda1" image="/dev/hda1" image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda5 label = Linux read-only # Linux bootable partition config ends thanks |
that's a bizarre file you have there, what are all those image=/dev/hda1 lines doing? get rid of them, that may well be what's giving you problems.

it's time to get some glasses eheh . thanks
|
unfortunately that didn't help (erasing the 3 (image="/dev/hda1")lines) but i'm having the same problem . i already uncommented # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 too but it make no difference . sorry for not posting earlier .

LILO does not know which resolution to load with, so . . .
- You can try letting your vga=normal, or. . . - You can play around with the vga resolution codes starting from the lowest (640x480) to the highest until you find a suitable one. GL |
Try uncommenting the "vga = normal" line. Good luck!

I got the same problem when I try to activate SVGA text mode with the old GeForce1/Riva Frame Buffer support. It Seems that new Nvidia graphic cards are not supporting VESA 2.0 mode, tell me if I'm wrong.
If I use "Vesa frame buffer" in my kernel, my screen shutdown... I suppose I will have to wait for a real GeForce2 chipset support before playing with SVGA :( Can it be your problem too Jamaso? |
well i would like to help but have a diamond stealth III S540, sorry .
I uncommented sva=normal and also others but nothing changed , BTW i can get X running ok but there's this problem i told you before , anyways i promise not to take more of your time , so here's my uncommented /etc/lilo.conf file (after some trimming) : ----------------------------------------------------------------------- boot="/dev/hda" message = /boot/boot_message.txt prompt timeout="1200" change-rules reset label="DOS" table = /dev/hda image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda5 label = Linux read-only -------------------------------------------------------------------------- thank you |
