Demon Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Hi! As the title says I'm having problems with Mandriva's lilo. I can't configure it to boot Fedora. Here's my lilo.conf: default="mandriva" boot=/dev/sda map=/boot/map keytable=/boot/us.klt menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw compact prompt nowarn timeout=50 message=/boot/message image=/boot/vmlinuz label="mandriva" root=/dev/sda1 initrd=/boot/initrd vga=791 image=/boot/vmlinuz label="mandriva-failsafe" root=/dev/sda1 initrd=/boot/initrd append="failsafe" vga=791 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-14mdv label="mandriva-old" root=/dev/sda1 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.17-14mdv.img vga=791 image=/mnt/fedora/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 label="fedora" root=/dev/sda8 initrd=/mnt/fedora/boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img vga=791 Mandriva is on /dev/sda1 and Fedora is on /dev/sda8. I appreciate all the help I get. Thanks P.S. I want Mandriva's lilo to be my bootloader, not Fedora's grub or anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soka Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Fedora is not booting because /mnt/fedora is not mounted at boot. Copy /mnt/fedora/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 and /mnt/fedora/boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img to /boot, edit lilo.conf and finally run lilo.

Demon Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Tried already... Same thing... I forgot to say in my first post: I always get kernel panic situation. Fedora's kernel gets loaded, but then some error about 'not able to mount "/dev/root"' ocurs and kernel panic notice comes out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
