issues in triple boot
I have an issue so any help here would be good,
My issue is I have 3 primary partitions, 1 - win 98 - 10GB 2 - Linspire 4.5 10GB 3 - Mandrake 10 ce 60GB I want to keep linspire as the new kernel comes out on the distro by September, and that is where I started, although I prefer Mandrake, unfortunately in Linspire CNR I paid for the years membership and the win4lin in Linspire (can anyone tell me how I can rip these to Mandrake) As I understand it there appears to be an issue between the 2 distros Lin and Man, with lilo and grub, I can boot 98 and mandrake fine, after I ran an update from the cd and reinstalled the mbr (grub) but Linspire does not appear in the mbr, how do I make it appear...!!!!!! "you are young but you will learn grasshopper" :scratch: |
you need to edit your /etc/lilo.conf in mandrake to make linspire bootable. But you'll need to know where exactly the needed files are in the linspire partition (vmlinuz, maybe initrd.img).

Thank you for the tip, but can you walk me through this and how do I find the information in Linspire if I cannot boot it? Any help would be greatly appreciated..:study:

Here's a thread that might be useful.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...highlight=lilo Use the search function to find more. You will need to mount the linspire partition to somewhere in mandrake (e.g. /mnt/linspire) and then look into /mnt/linspire/boot to find the files. |
