The problem is that i am on ubuntu now, i have homework to do.
the lilo config file i remember is just the same as in any other default lilo.
it begins with
----------------------------------------------------------
boot = /dev/sda <--i suppose this is MBR because i chose lilo to install to the MBR.
then the video vesa modes
it didn't work with vga = ### some number
i set it to vga = normal
--------------------------------------------------
what i wrote down is some of the errors i got.
Warning: video adapter does not support VESA BIOS needed for display of 256 colors
partition 1 on /dev/sda i not marked as active
partition entry not found
Fatal: partition entry not found.
my root partition was in /dev/sda1 , my home is in /dev/sda2
and then the swap partition.
how come this partition not be active? or partition not found?
after a fresh install?
i reinstalled lilo to MBR again, then to /dev/sda1 .
and still got :
partition 1 on /dev/sda i not marked as active
partition entry not found
Fatal: partition entry not found.
the main problem is with partition 1 not marked as active.
