Repairing a lilo from a live CD
 

Hello,

During the upgrade of my slackware from 13.0 to 13.1 an electric problem
happen on my sony laptop. So the upgrade is fine, disk is fine but
no time to run the lilo for configure the new boot. Now impossible to boot. I boot on a backtrack live CD, and can't repair my lilo.
Is someone could help me.
I use slackware since the 3.2 (kheops in french).

Hello,

You can try the this How TO
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO...cue-HOWTO.html

Theres a nice howto here: http://blog.tpa.me.uk/2009/09/29/re-...kware-boot-cd/

Hello,

Thanks to kumar.manoj412 and sahko for their respond.

The how-to rescue didn't work because I used an old version of backtrack
based on the 2.26 kernel which too old to do chroot.

So I burned a cd of the cd1 of the slackware and boot on it.
With the link http://blog.tpa.me.uk/2009/09/29/re-...kware-boot-cd/
I recreate the lilo and can watch a new error message in dmesg.
Problem with hard disk (e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sda2)

As The sony is an old laptop, I don't have sata disk inside so after running
a cfdisk I see it's reconized as /dev/sda and not /dev/hda

I change the fstab
And It runs

So thanks for the help (and sorry for the bad english).

If a moderator can put the thread as resolved.
