Well, I had it booting before with a different hard disk. When I put this 2 gig deal in, I've never been able to get it to boot directly from the hd. I've been using a boot disk I created after installing slackware 7.1 on this newer disk with the 2.2.16 kernel. Since I upgraded to 2.2.18, I tried building lilo boot for HD and floppy with neither working but a strait kernel image on a floppy works so I'll have to get back to it tonight when I get home and see how things will go. I've installed the suggested line in lilo.conf and corrected a swap partition problem so will give it a go when I get home where I can bounce the machine and see what happens. -----Original Message----- From: Kirk Wood [mailto:cpt.kirk@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2001 11:14 AM To: 'speakup at braille.uwo.ca' Subject: Re: Lilo to Talk? Double check your lilo.conf and be sure to actually run lilo (my mistake the first time). Once you have a working image, I would recomend you never take that one out of your lilo.conf. Instead add a new one (or more then one) so you have a choice of falling back. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net Cluelessness There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
