rh8As it was a minimized installation, I took the time to re-install and choose LILO instead of Grub as os-loader. Then everything booted ok.
Installed a rh8 system on an old compaq deskpro EN and had some problems installing. Diskdruid used the /dev/hdc as main partitition. On earlier installations it has allways used /dev/hda. Swap installed on /dev/hdc2.
When booting without the boot diskette Grub does not load the linux OS, but starts with the grub-commandline. Booting from diskette goes ok.
I paste in here the /boot/grub/grub.conf, and from the bood diskette syslinux.cfg
Do anyone have suggestions for how to configure grub.conf?
This is /boot/grub/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdc1
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hdc
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
Looks for me normal
This is /mnt/floppy syslinux.cfg
default linux prompt 1 display boot.msg timeout 100 label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ro root=/dev/hdc1
Grub did not work either from MBR or if it was installed on the first part of disk.
