lilo hides a fat32 partition
Hi people!
I have four partitions in my system. hda1 -> NTFS hda2 -> FAT32 hda3 -> swap hda4 -> reiserfs When i configure my lilo.conf to boot the system I write the ... image=/dev/hda4 ... and other=/dev/hda1 ... And what happends is that the partition where i store the dates (hda2) is hidden. I have to study a bit the problem to know that lilo was the problem. But when i restore the mbr to run only win and toogle active the partition with partition magic, all works fine in this partition until i reinstall lilo to boot the system. For the moment i'm studing how grub works to try with this other boot loader, but i would like to know why it is and if there is something to fix it. I have tried to add the change tag to the other secction indicating to set /dev/hda2 active... something that i've found in the man lilo file. But it hasn't functioned. Any suggestion ??? Thanks |
maybe it was because i had defined all the partitions as primary. I have changed the data partition (FAT32) to extended/logical partition and now lilo works fine.
maybe the boot loader hides the other primary partition to boot it up properly. |
