Guest bflorat Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hi folks, I installed Mandrake 10.1 Official on a USB external hard disk (Maxtor One touch 200GB) : Partition 1 (primary): 185 GB, bootable, ext3 Partition 2 (primary) : 500MB, swap Partition 3 (primary) : 8GB, ext3 Lilo is installed lilo on MBR (/dev/sda). My computer just has a USB CD drive and this USB HD, no floppy nor ide drives. When I boot, I just get a 'L' (without any error code). I tried without success: - To reinstall on sda3 (same message) - To install lilo on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda3 (same message) - To set disk=/dev/sda and bios=0x80 in lilo.conf (same message) - To add linear : lilo refuse this option due to limitations - To use grub (I just get the grub command shell at startup) Any idea ?
