Folks,
Has anybody had the following problem with LILO (running, BTW, on RedHat 6.2 on the
new KRUD distribution):
I usually boot my machine from my SCSI drive, wherein I have my System Commander set
up. Last night I installed RedHat 6.2 (aka KRUD) on one of my IDE drives. I set LILO
to boot from that disk's master boot record (/dev/hdc); the root partition is on
/dev/hdc1. System Commander sees Linux on the correct drive and partition, but when I
try to boot from System Commander I get the infamous "LI" partial boot and hang.
RedHat boots very nicely from the boot floppy, and if I change my BIOS boot sequence
it will boot from the IDE drive itself. However it consistently hangs up when I try
to initiate LILO on the IDE from System Commander on the SCSI.
I've tried LILOing to the partition itself, to one of the other native Linux
partitions on the IDE, removed and added the OS entries under System Commander, and
keep getting the same consistent behavior.
Any ideas?
