 Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2004 2:38 am Post subject: Error on reboot ("Boot from CD:") |
 |
|
I'm getting this after rebooting (just setup LILO)
| Code: | Verifying DMI Pool Data .........
Boot from CD:
L 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 (etc.) |
Anyone see that before? I double checked my LILO conf and it looks ok. Will check back tomorrow. Looks like I'll have to do a bit of digging for this one.
Thanks
Carl |

Maybe a silly question, but do you have a CD in the cd-rom drive?
If so remove it

Thought someone might ask that after I was already in bed. No CD in the drive. I put the universal CD back in after trying to boot a few times with with same error. Booted fine. My mobo is a Shuttle AK32VN with 2500+ so no fancy controller, just the ATA100. Maybe something I forgot in the make menuconfig?
I'll poke around more and see what else I might be able to find to post that may help answer this.
Thanks

Looks like for some reason the /boot was recursive. Each time you did a cd boot then dir it produced the same results. Then it took the same number of cd .. to get back to root. I fdisk the hda1 and recreated boot after I copied everything out. Then I forgot to umont the boot first so I umount boot and remounted (mount /dev/hda1 /boot).
Also looks like I forgot to emerge lilo (or at least I did not right that step down) so I tried that but now it tells me that boot is not mounted and that it can not automatically mount so I tried to mount again and it says that /dev/hda1 is already mounted on /boot
Any ideas?
Thanks
Carl

I found a few people that posted this type of fix for this problem...
| Quote: | | Hi, the solution for me was to unmount boot. When you emerge grub, the script automatically mounts boot. Perhaps there is an error in the script where it checks to see if /boot is already mounted? |
But instead of grub it will be lilo. So I'll give that a try tonight and see how that goes 
No clue how I managed to create /boot as a recursive directory.

umount /boot then emerge of lilo worked.
Now just need to work out a few more things. Just need some time to work on it  |
