 Posted: Sat Oct 26, 2024 8:42 pm Post subject: Using Lilo on a ZFS RaidZ |
 |
|
I'm starting to plan a new build using a SuperMicro H12SSL motherboard and it will be in Legacy (bios) Mode instead of UEFI. This means I should be able to use Lilo as the boot loader.
As stated, I'm looking at running ZFS in RaidZ on the boot disk so that's a major cosideration as to whether the motherboard can handle that. Don't need to know how at this time as SuperMicro offers excellent support and I'll be asking them in regards to the board if it's possible. Otherwise, I'll simply use a 16GB SataDom drive as the boot disk and solve the problem.

Found some info on the Slack Forums that is fairly current (02/2024) on how to do it.
Use this with your Lilo Conf though it does need V:24.2 or later
| Code: | | append = " root=PARTUUID=00f34709-02" |
Supposedly works and I'll be testing it with the new SuperMicro board as my Christmas Gift to myself. Here's hoping the information is good as I can then forgo dealing with Grub and it's headaches.

Finally got all the hardware in and now putting it together on a test bench.
Hope to have the 900GB 10k SaS drive working with Lilo and UUID or PARTUUID and actually booting soon.
