I have an Asus A7V motherboard that has a promise ATA/100 controller built in. My hard drives are hooked up to the ata/100. So in Linux they are hde and hdg. Now I have lilo installed and gentoo will boot, but if I select my option to boot to windows nothing happens. No errors, no beeps, it just sits there. Now I have read just about every thing I could find about lilo and they all say the same thing. My config for the windows partition is as follows:
other = /dev/hdg1
table = /dev/hdg
lable = Windows
I thought maybe the windows side had died but if it is the only drive hooked up it works fine. I think that my problem has some thing to do with the fact that my Linux and windows drives are not on the first two ide channels.
I am totally out of ideas can anyone help?
Thanks in advance. |

This is just a guess but try adding this to lilo.conf under your global options (near the top):
disk=/dev/hde bios=0x80
disk=/dev/hdg bios=0x81
This should cause LILO to believe that the BIOS has told it that hde is hda and hdg is hdb. Here is my inspiration:

Again, just a guess. I have not been booting Windows for a long time, and although I have a faint recollection of a similar problem, this is all I can come up with. |
