Slackware 10.2 doesn't boot anymore
Hello friends,
I am using Slackware 10.2, with kernel 2.6.16 in my laptop (HP DV4274nr). Everything was going well and i have not made changes since last boot. I turned off computer yesterday, and today Slackware doesn't boot anymore. The system is automatically booting from lilo and the message stops after dots "Loading Linux-2.6 ............." . No more messages and loading. Where do i start to discover the problem? Is there a parameter can i use at lilo to try starting Slackware? Thanks! Michel |

You could use the install cd1 to boot your system! Once the cd1 is booted you can respond to the boot: with; Code:
boot: root=/dev/hda1 noinitrd ro Once you have your system booted then confirm your lilo.conf is correct then you can write; Code:
#lilo -v -t -b /dev/hda #this will test lilo If not, do you have the virus protection set in your BIOS? |
I suggest you get your hard drive manufacturer's utility and test your drive.
You can boot that Slackware at the LiLO boot prompt with: Code:
Linux-2.6 init 1 (to boot into single user mode for root to work) The sound advice that gwsandvik gave you will work to boot your system. Please post back what you've done and the results... |

The default is bare.i. |

if I put bare.i in the begining of the statement it works fine. Thanks, |
