How can I use Lilo with Fedora with a true way ?I tried some disros with a Pentium 4 machine and SATA harddrive which not accepted GRUB some times, but lilo is working fine.
View 11 RepliesRecently I installed a Linux distro (Pardus) which boots using initramfs. I am completely novice here. In the former configuration I used lilo to boot OpenBSD, Debian and W2k (it is easy for me to configure lilo to boot OpenBSD). But initramfs is a something completely new for me. As I understand it is a virtual file system with a standard directory tree and the information stored on that system is used (to boot the kernel?) to mount the true (physical) root device. The first question is how to properly describe a system (kernel image) booted with initramfs in the lilo.conf.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI somehow recalled a rule re the location of the boot partitions with LILO being required to be in the first part of the drive (1024 cylinders, it seems) and I found it indeed in an old doc:
Boot Partition: Your boot partition ought to be a primary partition, not a logical partition. This will ease recovery in case of disaster, but it is not technically necessary. It must be of type 0x83 "Linux native". If you are using lilo, your boot partition must be contained within the first 1024 cylinders of the drive. (Typically, the boot partition need only contain the kernel image.) Is this still valid in GRUB, esp in Fedora 10?
Just install Oracle on Fedora 14, and start facing challneges with PATH, etc. So want to edit my ini file to configure all PATH variable correctly. I see bunch of directories in /etc/rc0-6, which one hold ini file I can put some var assignments.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've just installed the new Fedora 11 (just released) through a Live CD having 3 partitions created:
"/boot" - ext3,
"/" - lvm (part 1)
swap - lvm (part 2)
now, I want to add my new Fedora system entry to my "central" lilo.conf, resident on another linux distribution. So, i've done

my lilo fedora entry boots fine but... at the middle of "after boot" loading the system hangs and stops the usual driver detection, etc (normally, it hangs on the CDROM detection or USB 2.0 camera detection).
I attempted to install slackware 13 on my laptop and was moderately successful. However in the process of attempting to configure it I appear to have messed something up. After reading about the problems I'm having I decided it would probably be easier to remove the current installation and start over.
I am now trying to install fedora from the dvd, but for some reason the computer will not boot the dvd. I have set the bios to boot from the drive first, and have tried burning the dvd twice, but every time the dvd spins up and shortly thereafter the computer loads lilo. Have I simply burned the dvd wrong twice? I used disk manager on mac os x and the disc reads just fine on the mac that burned it, but still no luck booting.
Difference between Grub,LILo and Uboot loaders
View 3 Replies View RelatedI currently have a Slackware system an am using Lilo. I just installed Fedora 13 on a different root partition to play around with, I chose not to install Grub. How can I add an entry to Lilo to boot Fedora? Almost everything I am reading online says to use Grub and not Lilo, is there a reason for this?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a PC with 2 Hard drives one of which has Windows XP Pro installed. I installed Red Hat Linux 7.2 on the other drive choosing LILO as the boot loader. When I reboot LILO only displays Red Hat 7.2 When I boot Red Hat and go into KDE boot settings I can see that hda has Windows NT. hdb has Red Hat 7.2. I then tried to make the Windows NT partition the default entry. When I try to confirm this an error displays warning me of danger if I proceed. Is there any way to make LILO recognize Windows (preferably without having to reinstall Red Hat), perhaps by installing another bootloader application!

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 using Wubi and I am very very happy with it. I want to get rid of Wubi and just have a normal Ubuntu installation. Do I need to do a clean install or is there anyway to switch from wubi to native install. Or backup all my settings and installed apps and import them to a clean install?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI completely deleted NTFS as having a boring windows doesn't make any sense today, installed it with ext4:
/boot = 200MB
/swap = 1GB
/ = space left
After successful install, the BIOS screen with HP logo remains stuck, it won't boot anything in another words. I can't get the boot loader, nothing as if it awkwardly trying to boot from external data drive. Did my hard drive go poof? or did I miss something during install? How can I get my hd to read?
I'm fairly new to linux, and a few days ago, as I was updating my system, I got the "EBDA is big ; kernel setup stack overlaps LILO second stage" error after reboot. I use a 3- boot, ( Win XP / Debian / Debian) and Windows XP works fine, but I can't launch any of the Debian. I googled the message, and I found this link :
[URL]
The only problem problem is that when I try to chroot, I got another message, "chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory" I googled this message too, but found no relevant answers. I am now using a knoppix usb drive to try to repair the lilo, but I ran out of ideas ...
This computer is incompatible with grub. So normally with other linux distros when the installation ask me about grub I click back and the distros give me the lilo option.
But ubuntu-10.04.2-alternate-i386.iso does not give the lilo options. I try apt-get install lilo but no success. (shell rescue mode)the answer is: Package lilo is no available So I need a Ubuntu with lilo. or some way to install lilo in this distro.
i had to reinstall window$ and my MBR was rewrote so i can only boot to windows, how do i reinstall lilo in the MBR, i have the slackware 13.1 DVD not the cds.

So I started with a Ubuntu 10.10 generic install then processed with the installation of Ubuntu Studio packages, including RT kernel at last. Everything ran smoothly until I installed this RT kernel...The problem appears to be LILO and its config, as well as fstab. I fear all of this is far above my abilities, this is why I submit my problem to the community. Here's what I've discovered when trying to configure LILO: $ sudo liloconfig

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was using 2.6.28-14 kernel version, it update me to 2.6.28-15. Now I have upgraded kernels many times, not first timer, but this is a first to me. So I have this wierd system setup, don't ask. Where I use lilo instead of grub, just take it as it comes guys, I have to. At any rate, it upgraded all fine, and I restarted, play the blues I got a "No setup signature found" error and lilo won't boot. So I did some searching on web and everyone says to boot up CD and re-install lilo. Well with grub I've done this many times, no prob bob, but lilo won't work.
So I used my super auto grub CD to try to re-do things. Since grub config and grub was still installed on my Linux partition I tried it right. No go of course, grub says it can't find the partition nor can it mount it. So I tried the beta of lilo on the grub cd and it don't work either. Botched it up worse, first it wouldn't do anything on my second drive, just sat there black screen. Then I did it a second time, let's screw it up some more right. Now it doesn't even find a boot loader in the MBR ha ha.
So at any rate, how in the sam heck do I fix this thing? Short of downloading 10.04 and re-installing everything?? Don't want to do this, too much work when I can just upgrade and keep my stuff installed and setup. So I tried running jaunty from CD and re-loading lilo. So everything is working fine right, I mounted drive and apt-get install lilo and ran lilo. So lilo even telling it what config file to use and where won't find things and won't re-install. So just for grins, even though I thought it wouldn't work I mounted my second drive linux partition, the one with the boot info on it, you ready, to root "/". Then I couldn't unmount
