 Posted: Tue Nov 26, 2002 3:17 am Post subject: silo/bootloader problems |
 |
|
i installed silo but i made a type-o in the config so it can't find the kernel...now i can't figure out how to boot from the cdrom to get into rescue mode and repair the problem
is there a way to custom modify where the kernel is from the silo boot prompt
is there a way to bypass the silo and just boot from the cdrom?
help?? |

| I'm also having trouble where silo can't find the kernel. Could somebody post their silo so I can see where I went wrong? |

| Code: | root = /dev/hda2
timeout = 50
image[sun4u] = /boot/vmlinuz-2420
label = linux
append="idebus=66"
image[sun4u] = /boot/vmlinuz-2420rc4
label = linux2024rc4
append="idebus=66"
image[sun4u] = /boot/vmlinuz-2420rc2
label = linux2420rc2
append="idebus=66"
image[sun4u] = /boot/vmlinuz-2420rc1
label = linux2420rc1
append="idebus=66"
image[sun4u] = /boot/vmlinuz-2420p9
label = linux2420p9
append="idebus=66"
image[sun4u] = /boot/vmlinuz-2419
label = linux2419
append="idebus=66" |
Never hurts to keep around old kernels....never know when you need a backup....

| Got it working. I just let it use tmpfs- made sure ramdisk support was in the kernel and uncommented the line for tmpfs is fstab. |
