I hope this is not OT - didn't find any LILO mailing list. after trying virtually everything - can anyone help me with a tip? Running 2.4.19-pre10-ac2, RedHat 7.3 (LILO version 21.4-4), I have root on /dev/md0 on RAID-1 on /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdb1. I've tried the howto at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Boot+Root+Raid+LILO-3.html#ss3.1, but it still doesn't help me. lilo just tells me "L 99 99 99 99 ..." some half a page, and then stops.I'm trying. All the time it prints this, it seems to be searching the floppy for some reason. The lilo.conf suggested by the above HOWTO, is this # lilo.conf.hda - primary ide master disk=/dev/md0 bios=0x80 sectors=63 heads=16 cylinders=39770 partition=/dev/md1 start=63 boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b image=/boot/bzImage root=/dev/md0 read-only label=LinuxRaid sector/head/cylinder is corrected to the actual data reported from 'fdisk -ul'. When trying to set. boot=/dev/hdm (which is the first drive on the on-board chipset), lilo installs, and I get LI instead of L 99 99 ... Same result with LBA32. I also have another box with Linux, running SuSE 7.2 (LILO version 21.7-5) with RAID-1 on two drives. Here everything works fine thanks for all help roy -- Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk, Datavaktmester Computers are like air conditioners.
