lilo warning: not on first disk
 

I'm getting this warning after running /sbin/lilo

Warning: /dev/hdb3 is not on the first disk
Warning: Device 0x0340: Inconsistent partition table, 3rd entry
CHS address in PT: 145:0:1 --> LBA (146160)
LBA address in PT: 2329425 --> CHS (2310:15:1)
Fatal: Either FIX-TABLE or IGNORE-TABLE must be specified
If not sure, first try IGNORE-TABLE (-P ignore)

Help appreciated.

the first warning is because lilo does not know if your system BIOS will attempt to boot that drive (hdb) at all. If you set it to boot the second drive first, you can ignore that warning; I have the same one because I have windows on the first drive, and all kinds of linux on the second one; the boot loader on my second drive references the first drive so that I can boot into windows by chain loading it (lilo config for windows is 2 lines: other=/dev/hda label=Windows or similar)

As for the other error - it seems like that is something you should fix. If you have another drive to copy your entire drive to, I would do that. You can use the slackware installation interface to fix the disk, copy the files back, and install the bootloader and you'll be back where you are now, but even better.

happy slacking
