Do you have any other operating systems on your machine? Were there entries for them in the LILO screen? Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have more information. No other operating systems.
My /etc/lilo.conf is as follows:
--------------------------
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
label=linux.old
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
other=/dev/hda8
label=dos
If you don't have Windows installed on this machine, why is there an entry in
lilo.conf for:
other=/dev/hda8
label=dos
Is hda8 a DOS partition?
I did have the machine dual boot with Windows so had a small partition for sharing data between Linux and Windows. I don't use it now. (I now use vmware with Windows NT as a guest operating system inside the Linux host). Do you think ithe problem is connected with the lilo file? During the upgrade I also get a warning that the partitions do not match cylinder boundaries, although this has not been a problem with previous upgrades. This should be fixed in the current code present in Roswell, the beta for the next release of Red Hat Linux. |
