|
I finished the install, when executing LILO I get an 'unable to determin video card', and 'no images have been defined' errors. /etc/lilo.conf files contains boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=100
lba32
default=linux
Image=/boot/kernel-2.4.22-gentoo-r2
label=gk_linux
root=/dev/hda3
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.22-gentoo-r2
append="root=/dev/hda3 init=/linuxrc"
LILO is reading the config file, I changed some settings/saved and ran with errors, changed it back though. First boot gives a 'missing OS' error. I ran through the manual, all seemed to install fine, used stage 3 w/o GRP since I've cable internet it went fast, took only 4 hours from first page of manual to last. But apparently I did something wrong. Scanned the forums, I seem to be the only one with no OS. Boot errors I could deal with, but please help with this no OS business. I am live here and eagerly await help.
Thanks,
Mike

RhinoDrake, can you advise how you conpiled your kernel?
did you use genkernel 3.x?
if that is the case then change your append line as follows:
| Code: |
append="root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/hda3 init=/linuxrc"
|
after the above your /etc/lilo.conf should look be like this:-
| Code: |
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=100
lba32
default=linux
Image=/boot/kernel-2.4.22-gentoo-r2
label=gk_linux
root=/dev/hda3
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.22-gentoo-r2
append="root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/hda3 init=/linuxrc"

added 'append' line, ensured I had all code typed correct, used nano to edit lilo.conf, saved, ran lilo, it gave another 'image has not been defined' error. I wrote down the kernel ver. after compile, even recompiled to ensure I got it right, no joy. Thanks for the suggestion. I am live on AIM user is Rhinonet2 which would be faster than the forum.
