similar to: Centos5 install failure

Hi, I did a command-line upgrade of a RHL73 server to Centos 5. It was a bit rocky road, but in the end it was successful. There's one thing that bugged me. I'm using software RAID1 consisting of /dev/hd{a,c}. No LVM or anything fancy, a number of /dev/mdX partitions, including the root (+/boot). I'd have preferred to continue using lilo as it works more easily with RAID1

I have just successfully installed CentOS5 beta from CDs. No major issues so far, but it is still too fresh to say anything. The machine I used is peculiar. By peculiar I mean it won't boot if I use grub (this is a long story by itself). So, I manually installed lilo to boot the system. The only problem is that I could not use kdump. It produced an error saying "No bootloader config

Hello all! I would like to know if is possible to use LILO as the boot loader instead of the default GRUB. My question comes because I tried to run lilo command but the message "command not found" appear. It sounds like my only boot loader option in CentOS is GRUB ??. I found lilo.conf.anaconda, but not the lilo command. From already thanks. Regards, Juan P. Espino

I can't choose LILO as boot loader anymore in the install process? And what is the advantages in GRUP vs. LILO that are so great that LILO has been deleted all together? One big disadvantages when forced to use GRUB is that it is a hassle to make the disks in a RAID1 bootable. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-March/msg05935.html and RAID1 seems pretty useless when it is the

Does there exist a version of Lilo built for x86_64 CentOS 5? It does not seem to be on the DVD. *I* really, really, prefer Lilo over Grub. -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller at deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/

Hi, I'm doing a small hobby project writing some tools to put DOS boot images and Linux rescue images on a USB stick. For this I have partitioned my USB stick in 2 partitions, one 192MB partition with a VFAT filesystem (for the normal use) and a second partition with an ext3 filesystem. My aim was to provide a graphical menu (grub) to access the different images using memdisk. Since

Hello Xen-Users, I am running a Debian GNU/Linux Devel-Station (P2/366 MHz, 512MByte) and use currently chroots which give some problems from time to time.

With Centos3, fedora1/2 I have been able to put /boot on a RAID1 partition and have it boot normally. Unlike earlier versions that used lilo as the default boot loader, these did not make the 2nd drive bootable but at least I was fairly confident that if the first drive failed I could use the install CD in rescue mode to fix up the 2nd one and go on. However, Centos4 won't boot at all with

I have been trying to install CentOS 4.1 on a new server today. The installation went fine but the system doesn't boot. It doesn't even get to the Grub screen. The system has a 3ware 9500 series controller and 12 250GB SATA disks which are configured for RAID5 with one hot spare. I searched on the web and noticed that this is a Grub (and Lilo) limitation. Is there any way around it other

hi, we've got many mandrake 8,9 and 10 system remotely. we'd like to remotely replace these systems to centos 5. we've 4 disk in them. one is the system drive (no need for raid) and there is free space on the remaining 3 disk. so what we think about: - download the new system to the data disks - install grub (mandrake has lilo) to boot the old system and reboot - create the old system

Hi, I am trying to boot a liveCD thats on my hard disc ...is there a way of doing this using lilo ? reason well rather than keep burning to CD then testing I want to be able to make changes then test by booting to liveCD.... Thanks in advance Dave T..

Hi all, I'd like to deploy a solution with dual-booting systems where CentOS 5.3 is already installed and WinXP will be installed to a separate disk. I found http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm?page=1 and it seems straight forward enough, although the description is for Ubuntu. The problem as I see it, is that the how-to differs from how

I''ve now given up trying to get grub working with my particular e1000 adapter, I''ve tried all the patches and all I can get is something that works a little bit but never past the grub menu. I''m sure I read something somewhere about a tool which would combine a multiboot image + modules into a single bootable item which could be loaded by lilo, and am hoping that the

I am using RedHat 7.2 w/ kernel 2.4.7-10. My / filesystem is configured as ext3. I want to change it to use data=journaled instead of ordered. If I mount it from a boot floppy, it mounts fine. (mount /dev/hda2 /mnt -t ext3 -o data=journal). I have attempted to find the correct procedure to start it up as journaled from grub to no avail. I have created a new initrd image that works fine with

Is it possible? Booting the installer from the CD works, finds the USB drive, and allows me to put the root filesystem on it. I put the /boot partition on the internal hard drive and installed GRUB in the boot record of that partition. GRUB shows the menu and begins booting, but eventually fails with the error that /dev/sda5 (the external partition) does not exist. I was hoping (perhaps in

Hi all, Sorry if this question seems odd. Is it possible to use syslinux to boot from a regular hard disk? I know that's exactly what grub, lilo etc. are doing, but I would really like to utilize the comboot option of syslinux. Are there LBA limitations to such a setup?

Hey, I was thinking of added some stuff about setting the network settings from the lilo prompt instead of waiting for a dhcp timeout when kickstarting a system..
