Reinstall Slack's LILO after WIndows XP reinstall
Hi,
I had to reinstall XP and have now lost LILO. I've been away from Linux for a while and can't remember how best to get LILO back. I'm cautious of running the Slack install CDs as I've updated the kernel and installed/compiled lots of software that I don't want any danger of removing. Is there a simple way to get LILO back? Thanks very much. |
Try Alien Bob's advice here:

Thanks for that.
I boot, pointing root=/dev/sda5 etc but I can't access the partition. Is there any specific kernel that has SATA support that I should be using, or am I missing something much simpler? Thanks again. |

I followed the instructions exactly as stated and was then able to mount the partition using 'mount -t auto /dev/sda5 /sda5' I was still unable to run 'liloconfig' (couldn't find it) so I ended up running 'setup', configuring where the partitions are (but not installing any software), 'configure system', which ran liloconfig for me, and then I CTRL-C'd out after running the liloconfig bit (so not setting any other systems bits, such as networking). I now have access again. |
