Fun with LILO
Hello all,
I have a machine that was apparently damaged by someone hitting the power button
repeatedly.
It's a Red Hat 6.1 system with a mix of IDE and SCSI drives.
Lilo was origionally installed on /dev/hda with the root partion on
/dev/sdb1
Lilo terminates with LI for an error code (Bad disk geometry I think)
Booting from a floppy I can rerun lilo and get 0x82 may not be accessable
Can I fix this problem by adding disk = /dev/sdb bios = 0x80 to lilo.conf
and/or do I need to try to redo the MBR on /dev/hda with fdisk /mbr a few
times?
Unfortuantly the machine isn't here in front of me so I havn't been able
to play too much.
