Lilo vs Grub - PROBLEM with lilo
Hi there!
I have the following problem: Whenever I have grub as boot loader, the system boots up fine, no problems at all. If I use lilo as the boot loader, it hangs when it says "Checking root filesystem". I don't think I need to post any details about my partitions, since all the information is in config files which I send attached. Any idea why it's behaving like this and how to get lilo to work? Many thanks, NELSON lilo.con # File generated by DrakX/drakboot # WARNING: do not forget to run lilo after modifying this file boot=/dev/hda7 map=/boot/System.map vga=normal default="Windows_XP" keytable=/boot/uk.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw other=/dev/hda1 label="Windows_XP" table=/dev/hda image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda7 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda8 splash=silent" vga=788 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux-nonfb" root=/dev/hda7 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount splash=silent acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda8" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-7mdk label="263-7" root=/dev/hda7 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.3-7mdk.img append="devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda8 splash=silent noauto" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="failsafe" root=/dev/hda7 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="failsafe splash=silent acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda8 devfs=nomount" read-only grug menu.lst timeout 10 color black/cyan yellow/cyan default 0 title Windows XP root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title Linux-2.6.3-7mdk kernel (hd0,6)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7 devfs=mount resume=/dev/hda8 psmouse.proto=imps splash=silent vga=788 initrd (hd0,6)/boot/initrd.img title Linux-nonfb-2.6.3-7mdk kernel (hd0,6)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7 devfs=mount splash=silent resume=/dev/hda8 psmouse.proto=imps initrd (hd0,6)/boot/initrd.img title failsafe kernel (hd0,6)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7 failsafe splash=silent resume=/dev/hda8 devfs=nomount initrd (hd0,6)/boot/initrd.img |

Thanks everyone for all the help.
It was actually something related with my USB filesystem, but I got it sorted. Everything's working now. Cheers, NELSON |
