Hi, I know I have asked a question alike this, but the people for that question doesn't seem to answer it anymore.
The situation is:
Windows 2000 Pro - C:
Linux - D:
When I select Windows 2000 Pro from the menu it works, but when I select Linux it doesn't work. Tells me "Kernel Panic etc..". The reason to why this doesn't work is because I have switched. I installed Linux while Linux was C:, and now Linux is D:, so I have to change, but changing hda1 to hdb1 won't really work.
unless it's a separate disk, it should probably be another hda, like hda2, not hdb1. if that doesn't work, you should post your lilo.conf and describe your partitioning with more detail so we can help you.
Originally posted by JulianS Okay, didn't know that you had to use an argument, but you still didn't answer my question. How shall the new entry in lilo.conf look like?
Why not post your lilo.conf so we can see it? That seems like the logical starting place to me.
Are both windows and linux on one hard disk? When you mention 'C' and 'D' that sounds like you have installed linux onto an externel drive. If this is so then it get more complicated I think although I have no experience of this.
If it is all on the internal hard drive then If you don't have a boot disk you will need expert help but otherwise :
cfdisk (you may need to be root)
To see what is going on with your hard disks.
This is my /etc/lilo.conf (the useful part anyway)
