Sorry



Oops. Looks like it's my fault (I put a . on a new line). Here is the
message *again*, this time it's ok:

Hi,

I have recently installed Redhat 6 on the primary partition of the
primary slave hardisk (hdb1). I kept my old windos on hda1 and installed
LILO. My lilo.conf file looked somewhat like:

boot=/dev/hda
map...
install...
default...
image...
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hdb1
        read-only
other=/dev/hda1
        label=dos
        table=/dev/hda

So far so good. However, a little while ago I made some changes to the
order of the disks and now the (Linux) hardisk is on /dev/hdc1, and I
don't get the LILO prompt. I created a boot floppy using rawrite, booted
to linux, and made a new lilo.conf file:

boot=/dev/hda
map...
install...
prompt...
timeout...
default...
image...
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hdc1
        read-only
other=/dev/hda1
        label=dos
        table=/dev/hda

But when trying to run lilo, I get 'Map segment is too big'. Does anyone
have a clue what does this mean? Btw, after booting with the floppy I
mounted my Linux filesystem, and in the new lilo.conf I changed the
references to /mnt/rt/boot instead of /boot.

Thanks,
  Noam
