Raid & slackware 9.0
 

ok ive tried to install lilo in simple and expert mode it doesnt want to when it boots it does this 040404040400440404040404040404404 then ask for system disk. I am trying to dual boot slackware 9.0 and Windows 2000 advanced server. I have raid striping set up on 4 seperate drives.
the first drive (array 0) has windows on it. In linux it is noticed as /dev/hde, the linux is on a seperate drive. it is located on a partioned 80 gig that is stripped its labeled /dev/hdg1 /dev/hdg2 /dev/hdg3 the root part of linux is mounted on /dev/hdg3 the swap is on /dev/hdg2 and the ntfs partition is on /dev/hdg1 the lilo.conf will not write correctly. and im new to setting up the lilo config so please any suggesstions would be greatly appreciated. :( :Pengy:

The number sequence would confirm that you have a lilo boot issue. Check the /etc/lilo.conf file to make sure that it is being installed on /dev/hdg1. (boot=/dev/hdg1) Then run the command "lilo" to write the file to the boot sect of the partition. You may also need to update the program that you are using as a boot manager. If Windows then I think you need to transfer the first 512 bytes of the partition /dev/hdg1 to a file for windows to read. If using Windows, then this sequence needs to be repeated each time you write a new boot record.

Perhaps it will help. You have a fairly complicated setup and without having all the hardware in front of me it is difficult to make any recommendations.
