triple-boot LILO XP+MDK9.2+Slack 9.1
 

I'm trying to add Slackware to Lilo.conf,but

Finally thanx to Knoppix live CD I'm able to post how my /etc/lilo.conf in MDK 9.2 looks like:

image=/boot/wmlinuz
label="linux"
root+/dev/hdc5
initrd=/boot initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hda=ide-scsi acpi=ht resume=/dev/hdc6 splash=silent"
vga=788
read-only

so I added:

image=/boot/wmlinuz
label="Slack"
root=/dev/hdc9 (which is / of Slack 9.1)
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append.....same as above....
vga=788
read-only

..etc........

So my question is how to tell Lilo in Mandrake that I wants to boot Slack (for 1st time)?The changes above I made with #vi and saved with /sbin/lilo.But can't see at Lilo boot screen.

I browsed here but can't find any post same to my problem.

Try to rename the kernel name cauz it's maybe make confusion for LILO :(

Also, when you have typed : /sbin/lilo , can you copy/past the output text plz?

Thx

thanx
 

well I don't know what output you mean.....sorry just noob

And I found out I should use name of the Slackware kernel.Wasn't sure.

Ok , if i type /sbin/lilo , done :

[root@localhost /home/wibo]# /sbin/lilo
Added Linux2.4.22 | ->
Added Windows* | -> THIS IS THE OUTPUT TEXT :)
Added Deb-2.6.3 | ->

[root@localhost /home/wibo]#

and how do I know what Kerenl Slackware it is when I didn't boot into it yet?

ok
 

I will have to reboot then,because I'm using Knoppix live CD on same box....I have another one I can go in here.....and try what you said....give me minute .)

**EDIT

Ok

but I'll not be able to show you output because can't get eth to work at MDK yet :(

too complicated..sorry...

What do you mean?

well I have 2 boxes....one XP only I'm on now....and one where I'm truing its Slack into Lilo.conf.there is MDK 9.2 but eth doesn't work for some reason.SO I have to used this XP box or reboot into some Live cd to get on iternet on box I'm having problem with.....


Ok so what output you wanted?..not the /sbin/lilo......


and on top of this post is my /etc/lilo.conf

So I don't know what output you need..sorry :newbie:

the output when you type /sbin/lilo .. maybe the slack kernel have not been added?

you mean this?
 

#/sbin/lilo

added linux *
added linux-slackware


..etc....

Yes!

But now, when you reboot, you didn't have the linux-slackware option?
If u can't choose, you maybe have a " boot: " prompt ... Type :

linux-slackware

:)

No I don't have option......this is why I make this post .)

you didn't have a prompt or anything else like that?

Weird :/
