Re: LILO stopped working - giving strange message
Hi,
If you unplugged the secondary MASTER then the secondary SLAVE disk is
without a MASTER (these terms DO have a meaning). You have to set the
former secondary slave to be a single drive and reconfigure your
/etc/fstab to use /dev/hdc* for each /dev/hdd*
The fact the CD-ROMs live happily as slave without master doesn't say hard
disks can do the same.
PS: This is really basic hardware knowledge that can be gleaned from each
and every installation brochure for ATAPI/IDE hardware (CDROMs, HDs, ZIPs
..).
Sincerely,
Schlomo Schapiro
