SSD + HDD error on boot
Hi all!
I am currently running Slackware64 13.37 on a SSD. I had also plugged a HDD for future use (Os is on SSD) but LILO setup generated an error because it wasn't able to write to MBR. I suppose boot code 0x80 is being used by both of these drives. When I take of HDD and tried to install to SSD that way, installed without problems, wrote LILO to MBR. System is perfectly healthy right now but when I plug the HDD as an additional storage I get the good old kernel panic VFS error unable to mount ; while booting. I know there is a workaround for this but do not want to alter the system because I might end up installing everything from scratch. Anybody experienced such a problem ? Thanks |
Hi
Welcome to the Slackware forum. Sounds like a cable/bios/fstab problem. Check which sata port each drive is connected to, check your boot order in the bios and then boot from the install cd and check that /etc/fstab is mounting the drives in the correct place so that /etc/lilo.conf can find them. You may have to re-run /sbin/lilo samac |
1-made mkfs.ext4 for the malfunctioning drive
2-edited /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab 3-mounted to a directory and gave necessary permission now it works like a charm! thank you. |
