humano457 Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Hello, My LILO is booting Linux from hda8, when the real is in hda7, I know I have to change lilo.conf, so I did this, put CD 1, type F1, then rescue, goto console and finally I put this in the screen vi /etc/lilo.conf I does load vim but doesn't show me any of the lilo.conf info which is this (resumed) .... boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map default="linux" keytable=/boot/es-latin1.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda8 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount acpi=ht splash=silent" vga=788 ... So, what's wrong?, do I have to type anything else, or what, I tried with emacs, joe, nano, but the only thing that works is vi, help me, I really want to try Mandrake 10.0, but, it seems my fate won't let me , anyway, I hope you guys help me, I'm sure you will. Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Before hitting 'Go to console' hit 'Mount partitions under /mnt' Then hit 'Go to Console'. Once in console type: chroot /mnt vi /etc/lilo.conf <<do your editing and save it>> lilo -v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
