Hello, I installed Slackware 10.2 on my computer with S-Ata hard disk. In installation I installed lilo too. Now I have booting problem with lilo. I can't boot Slack with lilo boot loader. On these lines booting stoped.

I can boot Slack by using installation cd1 by typing this at boot: prompt

boot: sata.i root=/dev/sda10 noinitrd ro

What can I do??? I have to configure lilo again??? or I have to add any parameters in lilo.conf file
OR WHAT is the problem??? ANY SOLUTION?

Could you post your lilo.conf?

It's also possible that you didn't install the SATA kernel when you installed Slackware. The default kernel is bare.i (IDE only, no SATA) and if you didn't choice another kernel (in this case, sata.i), Linux would attempt to boot since the BIOS would load the bootloader, but Linux would not be able to open the root device because there is no SATA driver in the kernel.

Hi,

As stated before, You need the sata kernel at boot. Or You could make the initrd so the filesystem support is available for init. The file README.initrd in the /boot directory is a must read if you will boot using the initrd.

If you don't want to use the initrd then compile the filesystem of choice in the kernel.

Please post your lilo.conf.

Another possibility is that your lilo.conf wasn't written to the mbr.
Once you use the install cd to boot your os then do a;
The above should be done as root. You will just test the lilo using the first command. Removing the -t will allow the write to the mbr of the device.
