I have been playing with lilo.conf to try another kernel image. I tried
the other image I made but it didn't work and then I tried to restore
the original one but it doesn't work so I am assuming it is a problem
with my lilo.conf file.
I mount the compact flash and then chroot /mnt/cf2 (root filesystem on cf)
I then mount the boot partition on hdc1 mount /mnt/cf1
ls /mnt/cf1
initrd boot.b bzImage map
My lilo.conf file looks like this.
____________________________
disk=/dev/hdc
bios=0x80
heads=4
sectors=32
cylinders=490
boot=/dev/hdc
map=/mnt/cf1/map
install=/mnt/cf1/boot.b
compact
prompt
timeout=20
default=linux
image=/mnt/cf1/vmlinuz
label=linux
initrd=/mnt/cf1/initrd
read-only
root=/dev/hdc2
vga=0x317
-------------------------------------------------
I then run lilo and it says
Added linux *
However after rebooting all I get is LI and the system hangs.
What should I change in lilo.conf also I don't really understand about
initrd and what script causes it to load into ram2?
Any help to get me booting again would be great.
