Hi,
well the problem is quite persistent. But I have got an idea why things don't work.
First, I tried UBCD (Ultimate Boot CD) and to boot Salix with grub from there. All I receive is a kernel panic (repeatedly).
UBCD includes a linux version to repair other systems. I tried to install lilo from there, but failed (repeatedly).
Lilo won't write as it has problems in finding the right info and sequence to boot.
Booting the Salix14.0-Installation CD and then
I get to the login screen, but mouse and keyboard dead (repeatedly).
Booting SalixLive13.37 all runs ok, but trying to install Lilo fails as it did with UBCD.
When looking into the lilosetup.log I started wondering what went wrong.
I think the boot loaders are having trouble with my HDD setup...
I have a SATA (SDD) disk, on which I installed (and upgraded) Salix64bit. This drive is first in BIOS order.
I also have a SCSI disk, on which I installed (and upgraded) Salix32bit (chroot environment). This drive is second from BIOS,
BUT in real booting the sequence changes and so I have the SDD being 'sdb' and the SCSI-HDD being 'sda'.
I think that is the point, where the boot loaders get confused.
I remember having had such problems on my first install...but currently I have no idea/plan to get around.
What would you suggest?
Thanks.
