Im pretty sure i did, im re doing everything and when it finishes i am going to make a boot disk, somehow

Isnt there some kde or gnome program that does it, idk cuz i never use kde or gnome but i think there might be

Have a look at the Bootdisk-HOWTO.

DiZASTiX · 05-11-2003, 05:19 PM

idk if this could help but after i type make install (after make bzImage) it says at the end Warning: LBA32 addressing asumed. Coild this might be causing the LI ???

Just finished redoing everything and i went into xterm, typed su, entred the password and typed mkbootdisk and it says
bash:mkbootdisk: command not found

Wow, all that just to make a boot disk! Also in there is included the LILO error codes:
LI - The first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot loader, but has failed to execute it. This can either be caused by a geometry mismatch or by moving /boot/boot.b without running the map installer.

But i dont see how to fix this, if i can either fix lilo or make a boot disk then i think the sound will work (im not rebooting until i do one or the other, and hopefully make a boot disk)

You can boot either kernel anytime. That's why you keep your old one in /etc/lilo.conf, just incase something goes wrong.

DiZASTiX · 05-11-2003, 05:33 PM

but i cant even get into lilo after the changes

You can use the slackware install cd as a bootdisk if your computer supports booting from cdrom.

Hang on while I beat myself with a clue by four

How would the kernel on the CD help me fix my sound? Also there has to be some way for me to get mkbootdisk to work, and i am root:

bash-2.05b# whoami
root
bash-2.05b# mkbootdisk
bash: mkbootdisk: command not found

I found a way to make a boot disk using a gui program that starts when you type the command: makebootdisk
It asks for the location of my kernel, where would this be after i made all the changes?

When you use the cd as a bootdisk your not booting the kernel on the cd, your booting the kernel on your hard drive.

At the prompt (where you type 'bare.i'), type the following,
[code]
linux root=/dev/hd**
[/url]
Replace /dev/hd** with the correct location of your install.
