lilo conf for fedora and slackware
My slackware is on hda and I have added fedora as hdb(slave).
How do I modify my lilo.conf ? # LILO configuration file # generated by 'liloconfig' # # Start LILO global section boot = /dev/hda #compact # faster, but won't work on all systems. prompt #timeout = 300 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 vga = 773 # Normal VGA console # vga = normal # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k # vga=791 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k # vga=790 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 # vga=773 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k # vga=788 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k # vga=787 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256 # vga=771 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k # vga=785 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k # vga=784 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256 # vga=769 # ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting # End LILO global section # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda1 label = Linux read-only # Partitions should be mounted read-only for checking # Linux bootable partition config ends # Windows bootable partition config begins other = /dev/sda1 label = Windows boot-as = 0x80 # map-drive = 0x80 # to = 0x81 # map-drive = 0x81 # to = 0x80 table = /dev/sda # Windows bootable partition config ends |
One more thing can I access fedora files from slackware like I view windows, by modifying /etc/fstab?
cause I tried and all it showed was boot directory and lost+found. If there is a way, please let me know. Just curious. |
Hi,
You can modify your '/etc/lilo.conf' with any text editor. I use 'vi'. After editing be sure to run the 'lilo' command as root to update the bootloader. You can run 'netconfig' as root from the 'cli' as root for Slackware. A lot of what you have asked could be searched here on LQ as this has been covered loads of times. |
ok I searched the threads but couldn't find for fedora in lilo.conf,
found a similar one for debian so I tried this # LILO configuration file # generated by 'liloconfig' # # Start LILO global section boot = /dev/hda #compact # faster, but won't work on all systems. prompt #timeout = 300 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 vga = 773 # Normal VGA console # vga = normal # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k # vga=791 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k # vga=790 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 # vga=773 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k # vga=788 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k # vga=787 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256 # vga=771 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k # vga=785 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k # vga=784 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256 # vga=769 # ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting # End LILO global section # bootable partion config begins image = /mnt/Fedora/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21.-1.3194.fc7 root = /dev/hdb1 label = Fedora initrd = "/mnt/Fedora/boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img" append = "splash=silent" vga = 787 # bootable partition config ends # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda1 label = Linux read-only # Partitions should be mounted read-only for checking # Linux bootable partition config ends # Windows bootable partition config begins other = /dev/sda1 label = Windows boot-as = 0x80 # map-drive = 0x80 # to = 0x81 # map-drive = 0x81 # to = 0x80 table = /dev/sda # Windows bootable partition config ends It didn't work , I'm not sure what to do, any ideas? |
I tried by copying

I know this has been already covered in forums before but all the methods used before have not worked for me.
I permanently mounted / of fedora on /windows/Drive5 by modifying fstab and my current lilo.conf is this # LILO configuration file # generated by 'liloconfig' # # Start LILO global section boot = /dev/hda #compact # faster, but won't work on all systems. prompt #timeout = 300 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 vga = 773 # Normal VGA console # vga = normal # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k # vga=791 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k # vga=790 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 # vga=773 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k # vga=788 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k # vga=787 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256 # vga=771 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k # vga=785 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k # vga=784 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256 # vga=769 # ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting # End LILO global section # Unix partion config begins image = /windows/Drive5/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 root = /dev/hdb1 label = Fedora_7 initrd = /windows/Drive5/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img # append = "rhgb quiet" read-only # bootable partition config ends # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda1 label = Slackware_12.0 read-only # Partitions should be mounted read-only for checking # Linux bootable partition config ends # Windows bootable partition config begins other = /dev/sda1 label = Windows_XP boot-as = 0x80 # map-drive = 0x80 # to = 0x81 # map-drive = 0x81 # to = 0x80 table = /dev/sda # Windows bootable partition config ends Please help, this worked for most people but all I get is kernel panic. |
