<0> /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 & so on
<1> but how?
<1> there are no any /dev/sda
<0> do you have it set to SATA in your BIOS?
<2> hey guys, i've got a real problem, i could use with the help, i forgot to run lilo after i built my kernel
<1> yea
<2> now i cant boot into linux
<2> i've booted using a live cd
<2> and i've tried to chroot to the drive (in this case /mnt/hda5)
<2> but when i run lilo i get the error
<1> i can use the sata disk from windows, but i need it in linux
<3> sean-james: boot from cd, reinstall lilo
<2> FATA: raid_setup: stat("/dev/hda")
<0> SATA drives use sda, not hda (if you have the drive set to SATA in your BIOS)
<2> the thing is
<0> do an fdisk -l & see what comes up (do not past in channel)
<2> why cant i just run lilo using chroot?
<1> it says nothing about sata disk
<2> is there not some way i can link /dev/hda to /mnt/hda5/dev/hda and give it what it wants?
<0> sean-james: then you have your BIOS in some type of compatibility mode
<0> check your BIOS
<2> Isaac-Lew : how can it be my bios? im new to lilo, would it be easier to reinstall it? but that still wouldn't solve the problem of rebuilding the mbr
<2> would it?
<0> sean-james: can you do the fdisk -l pleas?
<0> sheesh
<2> oh sorry, 1 sec
<2> 62
<2> ok
<2> i have 5 devices
<2> hda1 is boot
<2> hda1 and hda2 are ntfs partitions, hda 5 is ext3 and hda6 is swap
<2> Isaac-Lew : anything im missing? apart from a brain that is :)
<0> install lilo (grub might be a better choice) on /dev/hda
<2> Isaac-Lew : so after installing lilo it will work?
<2> will it break any of my current operating systems?
<0> sean-james: if there's a lilo entry, then no
<0> and that's another reason why grub might be better - it works well with dual-boots
<2> Isaac-Lew : so how do i start
<2> sorry
<2> im new
<0> sean-james: read the dual-boot HOWTO
<3> sean-james: what distro?
<2> knoppix
<0> or, start a new install, select upgrade existing installation & set up the bootloader when it gets to that part
<2> but i installed lilo
<2> why is it that so many websites tell you to use chroot
<2> when it cant rebuild the mbr unless it has access to hda
<0> sean-james: the chroot will have access to it
<0> I just did it last week
<2> so why doesn't it work for me?
<2> Isaac-Lew : so if mount /mnt/hda5, then i do chroot /mnt/ha5, then i do lilo -v
<2> but i get the error FATAl: raid_setup: stat("/dev/hda")
<3> sean-james: do you have slackware cd. may be it works. boot from cd type boot: bare.i root=/dev/<your root linux> noinitrd ro
<2> slicers : i have a backtrack slackware secutiry boot cd
<2> will that do?
<3> may be, ive tried to rescue redhat. it works
<2> so i would type :
<0> later
<2> bare.i root=/dev/hda noinitrd ro
<2> ?
<3> no
<3> bare.i root=/dev/hda5 noinitrd ro
<2> ah
<2> ok, ill just try it
<3> is /dev/hda5 your root? right?
<2> yea
<2> but i thought the problem was with my mbr?
<2> hmm
<3> lilo will replace mbr
<2> slicers : i get the error could not find the image bare.i
<2> hmm
<3> try without bare.i
<2> slicers : now i get a "could not find kernel image: root=/dev/hda5
<2> hmm
<2> which distro did you use?
<3> slackware 10.2
<2> slicers : i just need cd 1 right? theres like 4 of them
<3> try download slackware cd1. burn and use to rescue yr system
<3> yea
<2> slicers : thanks, doing it now, hopefully it will work, you familiar with using chroot to fix lilo?
<3> no
