Triple Boot w/Lilo
Recently i took it upon myself to setup a triples booting system setup as follows (3 seperate hard drives), hda=XP , hdb=redhat 9, hdc=mandrake 9.1. Mandrake was the last to be installed with defaults for installation. The problem i have now is that Lilo doesn't present me with a boot option for either of my Redhat kernels, it only lists boot options for mandrake and XP. Copy of lilo.conf below:
boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map default="linux" keytable=/boot/us.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hdc1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet" vga=788 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux-nonfb" root=/dev/hdc1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="failsafe" root=/dev/hdc1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=nomount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off failsafe" read-only other=/dev/hda1 label="windows" table=/dev/hda other=/dev/fd0 label="floppy" unsafe I'm a newbie (like you don't hear that everyday) and need help with exactly what to insert here and the steps needed to have my other redhat kernels listed as boot options. i now bow my head and pray to the penguin god for assistance. |
Add hdc to /etc/fstab
Once done, make a folder in / .... call it /mandrake the go to lilo.conf, put in label="linux" root=/dev/hdc1 initrd=/mandrake/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet" vga=788 read-only run 'lilo' in xterm and then restart. |
