| Thanks for the help... I did a mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdc1 and then redid the dsl-hdinstall to /dev/hdc1 I got the same problem...... After I thought about it some more it hit me... It was a LILO problem not a DSL install problem.... And to be perfectly honest it was a USER (i shot myself in the foot) problem not really a LILO problem. I had loaded two Linux distributions: DSL to /dev/hdc1 and VectorLinux to /dev/hdc2 Somehow LILO was trying to start DSL using some of Vector.... I went to www.troubleshooters/linux/lilo.htm and did some reading... My /etc/lilo.conf file was all wrong for what I was trying to do. I created some mount points.... changed my lilo.conf....reran LILO and presto! I can now boot DSL from my hard drive. Next I'm going to tackle bitmap images and LILO.... after that maybe I'll dabble with something easier like cold fusion or mid-east peace... Thanks for the advice. Great Distribution. |
