Lilo don't write on MBR
Hi people.
I've got slack 10.0 and I have problem with my lilo. I think that don't load on startup.appears this error: L9999999999999999999 And system stay static. When I look to my lilo.conf and verify with kde control center appears this warning [QUOTE]Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed Reading boot sector from /dev/hda Using MENU secondary loader Calling map_insert_data Mapping message file /boot/boot_message.txt Calling map_insert_file Boot other: /dev/hda1, on /dev/hda, loader CHAIN Added Windows * Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz Added Linux The boot sector and the map file have *NOT* been altered.[/QUOTE How can I do to lilo works? thx :)] |
looks like you're running it in test mode... how are you doing this? through a UI? as root just run /sbin/lilo and that should right. it's the added -t option on lilo that will only simulate the action like youhave shown above.

I've been done this couple of things (lilo and /sbin/lilo) try to take a many things like config my file lilo.config;
I had to fix my MBR with CD XP professional , because I can load anyway with lilo. |
hi there,
are you able to boot-up Slack, and post your " /etc/lilo.conf "- file here. i think that would give some info .... egag |
I can go to linux with cd-1 slack and do boot: linux root=/dev/hda6 :)
My lilo.conf is: # LILO configuration file # generated by 'liloconfig' # # Start LILO global section boot = /dev/hda message = /boot/boot_message.txt prompt timeout = 1200 # Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table: change-rules reset # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 vga = 773 # Normal VGA console # vga = normal # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k # vga=791 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k # vga=790 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 # vga=773 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k # vga=788 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k # vga=787 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256 # vga=771 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k # vga=785 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k # vga=784 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256 # vga=769 # End LILO global section # Windows bootable partition config begins other = /dev/hda1 label = Windows table = /dev/hda # Windows bootable partition config ends # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda6 label = Linux read-only # Linux bootable partition config ends |
do you have some virus-protection runnung on your bios ? go to bios-setup (reboot and look at the screen what to do: hit "del." or so ) and look for it. put it off and try again.

I don't have anykind of anti virus soft run on bios startup.
|
well... then try :" #lilo -v3 " ( as root ).
you will get a lot of info and there should be the errer message. egag |
