linux single user mode and lilo installed failed
i just installed Slackware linux 9.1.
My lilo was failed to install. i installed the boot loader into the superblock of my linux partition which is /dev/hda3. i have created a boot disk to boot into my linux partition. when i try to enter single user mode at boot time by typing "linux single", it prompted "boot image was not found" Does anyone have any idea how to fix my problem? I try to run liloconfig with auto mode to reinstall the lilo but it failed again. Then i tried the expert mode. After i have gone through all the setting, i press Enter to install the lilo but a dialog show up to prompt that lilo was installing. But this dialog box won't disappear and i stilll can type my other command at the command prompt. At last i give up. Can anyone tell me how can i login as single user while booting in? i was told that i failed to enter single user mode because my lilo was failed. Does it true? So how can i install my lilo back and enter the single user mode? Please: i always forget my root password! Thanks for help. |
