Yet another question about LILO
Hello,
sorry for bothering, there is enough information covering this matter yet I missed something. I added a second hard drive and edited lilo. First off, I changed 'Timeout'. Previously, I set 'timeout=1' so Slackware was booting without prompt. This time I set 'timeout=600', hit 'lilo' and reboot. I see a prompt appears and it reads 'Linux' for a minute if I don't touch a keyboard. No matter what I do next on the bottom on the /etc/lilo.conf file, I can't see my other OS appears. I ended up changing Code:
# Linux bootable partition config begins to Code:
# Linux bootable partition config begins I see again Linux, not Linuxgrrrrrrr :banghead: In other words, I am able to change 'timeout' but unable to change 'Linux bootable partition config' part in the same file. Oops. What did I miss? Thanks in advance. M. |
Do you get any meaningful error when you hit lilo?
Try shorter names for the label, too. |
Thanks for taking care.
I just found a workaround via the computer's BIOS. It has a boot device chooser. :) M |
