[Grml] Rerunning lilo

[Scott Ford]

Mika,
	Thank you, for your help.I do not know what chroot environment
Is.  I am guessing that it is when I use the live cd to boot?..  I do not
know how to mount the /proc and /sys? Will mounting the root linux /dev/hda3
partition make this happen? 
I have attached my lilo.conf file.	
/dev/hda1 26Gb ntfs win xp.
/dev/hda2 1gb linux swap
/dev/hda3 3Gb Linux root
/dev/hda4 extended partition
/dev/hda5 5Gb fat32 storage
/dev/hda6 4Gb linux future /usr/home 


I'm not *really* sure what's going o	n because it's very hard to read
your text. Using newlines to separate some sentences would simplify it. But
let me guess what might be your problem:

Looks like you installed lilo into the partition where you did install grml
into, instead of installing lilo into MBR of your harddisk.

Make sure the line containing boot= in /etc/lilo.conf is correct (AFAICS you
need /dev/hda for it) and rerun lilo then. Make sure /proc and /sys are
mounted if you are running lilo in a chroot environment.

If that Mika,

If that does not work please show your lilo.conf (just attach it to your
mail) and the commands you are using to fix your setup.
