Alright here it goes. I have Windows, Suse 9.1, and just as of now Slackware 10.0 installed on my machine. The first time that I installed Slackware I chose not to install Lilo because I thought that I could get Grub to work with loading Slackware. I couldn't quite fiugre it out, so I just reinstalled Slackware and this time I installed Lilo. Now when I boot up, I get Lilo, but it only has Windows and Linux as boot options. I have booted into Slackware and opened the /etc/lilo.conf and here is the jist of what it says:
(keep in mind that this is straight from memory, so if I forgot one word or so, please don't post just to tell me that I messed up!!!
)
---------------------------------------------------------------
# Windows bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hdc1
label = Windows
# Windows bootable partition config ends.
#Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hd4/
label = Linux
read-only
#Linux bootable partition config ends
---------------------------------------------------------------
now here is a rough idea of what my HD layout looks like
/dev/hdc1 <========== Windows partition
/dev/hdc2 <========== Swap partition
/dev/hdc3 <========== Suse partition
/dev/hdc4 <========== Slackware partition
What my goal here is I want to either have Lilo show my Suse partition, or get Grub back and going and have that show my Slackware partition.
What I have tried so far:
#pico /etc/lilo.conf
and this is what I added to the config:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image: (here I have tried /boot/vmlinux/, and I have also tried it without this line at all.)
root = /dev/hdc3
label = Suse
read-only (I have also tried it without this read-only line also)
#Linux bootable partition config ends
I am completely out of ideas, if ANYONE has anything that can help, it would be very appreciated!!!!!!!!!.
