[mythtv-users] KnoppMyth R4 LILO fails on a 2 HDD system

[Maurits van Dueren]

Never mind:

instructions below get the system booted, but take the wrong vmlinuz or 
somthing, and I suspect also some errors exists when copying to /dev/hda1, 
because I get authorisation errors too.

I simply phisically disconnected my 2nd hard drive and did it again.

>>Hi there,

>>not sure is it is for all 2 disk systems, but when I installed KnoppMyth 
>>R4, the scripts building lilo.conf seemed to mess up. As a result, I ended

>>HDB for booting, which I think does not belong there and tripped up lilo:

>>To work around this, do the following once the automatic install is ready 
>>but *before* you are responding OK to the reboot question. (Or, if you are

>>other selection)
>>
>>CTRL-ALT-F2
>># mount /dev/hda1  /mnt/hda1
>># chroot /mnt/hda1
>># cp /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf.old
>># vi /etc/lilo.conf
>>
>>put a # before the incorrect reference to /dev/hdb5. Of course, the 
>>incorrect reference may be for /dev/hdb1 too. vi hints: Press I to 
>>insert/edit Press Esc and ":wq" to save.
>>
>>Other things I noticed was that the /dev/hda1 partition was not really 
>>made bootable by the install script, but that does not really matter to 
>>lilo as long as it is in the mbr.
>>
>>Hope this helps other spending less time....
