Gentoo Lilo problem.


Hi, i forgot to run /sbin/lilo in the install so booted the gentoo live cd again chrooted into gentoo and tryed to run /sbin/lilo it returned these errors:

" Warning 'proc /partitions' does not exist, disk scan bypassed"
"Fatal: open /boot/kernel-2.4.25-gentoo: No such file or directory"

My lilo.conf looks like this:

boot=/dev/hdc
prompt
timeout=500
default=gentoo

image=/boot/kernel-2.4.25-gentoo
label=gentoo
read-only
root=/dev/ram0
append="init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hdc8"
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.25-gentoo

other=/dev/hdc1
label=windows

P.S. Thts as close or as much as i remember from my lilo.conf i think thts all of it anyway.

Your problem is while you mounted and chrooted into your original / partition, you probably didn't mount /boot. That is why lilo cannot find the kernel image. As long as /boot is entered in /etc/fstab... just mount /boot first.
Hope that works for ya
