[gentoo-user] lilo and SW-RAID-boot-partition

[gentoo-user] lilo and SW-RAID-boot-partition

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

Greets, gentoo-users.

I have a lilo-related problem and can't find a solution on the net, so I
ask you for ideas.

This box should boot from SW-RAID-1, and it has also already done that.
After editing a label inside lilo.conf I issued "lilo" and got this:

Did I forget something?

Ah, yes, lilo-22.7.3-r1 used and already re-emerged.
I even tried to install LILO to /dev/hda only, without the
raid-extra-boot parameter, same messages.

Originally LILO was installed inside the chroot, maybe I did something
wrong there (although it installed clean and also booted fine). I used
LILO because I wasn't able to install GRUB with the SW-RAID-stuff.

Maybe this doesn't properly work with the now running kernel?

Any ideas how to solve that?

This box has to be rebooted early next week due to a change of location ;)

Thanks, greets, Stefan.

I *bump* this one ... noone with any hint on this?

I think you might need a root=/dev/md3 inside the specification for 
'Gentoo':

  image=/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.19-gentoo-r5
  label=Gentoo
  vga=0x314
  initrd=/boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.19-gentoo-r5
  root=/dev/md3

Thanks for that, but it didn't work.
Same error as before.

Thanks a lot for the help, in the meantime I have done another try with
grub and was successful. lilo didn't install anymore so I removed it  ...
