Hello.
I want to make a machine boot from a hard disk that already has a linux install on it. I basically need to reinstall lilo to the mbr, using the files from /mnt/hda1/boot (chain.b, boot.0300 & boot.b) and /mnt/hda2/etc/lilo.conf.
I am using the knoppix live CD, and if anyone can tell me how, please do so asap!!! I would be very grateful.
Here is my lilo.conf:
delay=40
append="panic=20"
boot=/dev/hda1
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
#prompt
#timeout=50
message=/boot/message
linear
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22smp
label=linux-mp
read-only
root=/dev/hda4
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda4
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
I copied 2 partitions off the drive as I through that the machine would no longer be needed as a RH7 server, and put FC2 on it.
I now find out that the machine is needed in bootable state (quickly!). I have copied the two images of the partition back on to the drive - hda1 which I have as /boot/ and hda2 which I have the rest of the old system on.
If someone can help me with this I would most grateful!
Thanks,
Tom Jermy
