Lilo
I just did the full Slackware 10 install. What do I add to /etc/lilo.conf to be able to boot into Slackware? Slackware is installed to /dev/hda4 and I chose the kernel /cdrom/kernels/bare.i/bzImage I put
Code:
image=/boot/vmlinuz |
Run the lilo configure script in pkgtool to reconfigure Lilo.

try running lilo from your rescue cd if you can't get into your installation...

boot from disc2, with bare.i root=/dev/hd?? ??=linuxpartition
log in as root, run pkgtool reinstall kernel-ide-2.4.26.tgz kernel-headers-2.4.26.tgz, kernel-source-2.4.26.tgz, and kernel-modules-2.4.26.tgz.(from disk1) When finished run, liloconf, select simple, and then mbr. reboot. I had a buddy who I installed slack for and for some reason he kept tinkering and always managed to get the same error message. I found this to be the easiest way to get things running again for him. Might not be the cleanest way but it works. <EDIT> This is not a lilo problem but a kernel problem. It occurs when mounting the root file system. Also at the end of the posted lilo you need "read-only". |

no =linuxpartition.
just bare.i root=/dev/hda4 |
:newbie: What directory would I find those TGZ's in?
|
there under slackware dir, just navigate to /mnt/cdrom/slackware/ and look around. Sorry I'm not gonna dig out my cd. Just start with the a dir and go from there. I promise they are there.

1. /mnt/cdrom/ has nothing in it.
2. I searched the disk for *kernel-ide* in Linspire and it didn't find anything. |
First you have to mount the cdrom with, mount /mnt/cdrom(may have to be root to do this). then cd to /mnt/cdrom/slackware/. Kernel-ide-2.4.26.tgz, and kernel-modules-2.4.26.tgz is in /mnt/cdrom/slackware/a. kernel-headers-2.4.26 is in /mnt/cdrom/slackware/d. And kernel-source is in /mnt/cdrom/slackware/k. They are there.
|
:( :newbie: /mnt/cdrom/slackware/a doesn't exist but README.TXT /isolinux /kernels and some other things are there but no /a /d or /k

bump
ahh no quick reply |
i think you might be trying with cd2, those directories are on cd1...
|
Heh, I misunderstood the post. I thought you ment all the packages were on disk 2 except the last instead of boot from the 2nd then insert the 1st.
I reinstalled those packages but I still got the same error when I selected "Slackware" from LILO. |
