Hey Y'all,
I have a question of which I am sure the answer is staring me in the
face. I am running a multiple boot system with multiple drives. The
configuration is :
HDA1 : DOS/WIN3.11
HDA2 : WIN95
HDA3 : WIN98
HDB1 : CALDERA 1.2
HDD1 : RedHat 5.2
I installed Partition Magic 4.0 and it's boot manager which
recognizes all of the os's. It will boot the windoze partitions fine. I
am using the version of LILO which came with the Caldera 1.2 to boot
Caldera 1.2 successfully. I am hoping to find a way to use it to boot
the RedHat 5.2 partition. LILO knows the Linux partition on /dev/hdd1
where RedHat resides is there. Upon trying to boot RedHat from LILO I
get the message from LILO saying it is booting the partition/os, but
nothing else happens.
I did install RedHat's version of LILO to the /dev/hdd1 partition
where RedHat resides. When trying to boot this from Partition Magic's
Boot Manager, I get
L I
and nothing else. The system locks up.
I tried creating a /boot partition on HDA, but there appears to be
too many primary partitions already created. Can I install /boot for
RedHat to a logical partition instead? Would this even help?
Currently, the only way I can boot into RedHat is to use the boot
disk it made during installation. I would prefer not to delete any
partitions / os's because this computer is used for testing code and
training / teaching people and I do not have the $$$ to purchase another
computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ryan
