teacher Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 GeorgeWhen you pull Suse over to Mandrake's lilo you can not leave it with the symbolic link to the initrd image=/boot/vmlinuzlabel="suse"root=/dev/hde6initrd=/boot/initrdappend="resume=/dev/hde5 splash=silent desktop"vga=0x31aread-onlyYou must change the /boot/vmlinuz to the correct vmlinux and the initrd to the correct initrd. I suggest you make a folder in your Mandrake Lilo labeled "suse". Then copy over your Suse/boot/ files to the Mandrake boot/suse directory. Then change the two lines to reflect the full Suse kernel info. If it is the current one it is probably: vmlinuz-2.6.11.4-20a-defaultinitrd-2.6.11.4-20a-defaultconfig-2.6.11.4-20a-default That would make the three lines: image=/boot/suse/vmlinuz-2.6.11.4-20a-defaultlabel="suse"root=/dev/hde6initrd=/boot/suse/initrd-2.6.11.4-20a-defaultappend="resume=/dev/hde5 splash=silent desktop"vga=0x31a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Yep Teach right on target . . . additionally, George you will want to show us ( when booted in Mandrake ) # ls -al /boot/suse And maybe too # cat /mnt/suse/etc/lilo.conf ( after mounting the suse partition ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacher Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Georgecat /mnt/suse/etc/lilo.conf will only show us how you have your lilo configured. It won't tell us you have the files copied over.

teacher Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 That should do it George! At least until you do your updates and get a current version of the kernel! Every time you change your lilo.conf the next step must be /sbin/lilo to activate the new lilo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Great george !!If your "normal" entry for Mandrake in lilo works okay you can remove the "Mandrake-2" one ( we just added ) again . . . and run sbin/lilo again to write the new lilo to the MBR. ;)The Mandrake -2 was just a safety net Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeg4 Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share Posted May 19, 2005 understood bruno the regular one worked just fine . i havent taken the safety one out yet it may not be a bad idea to leave it just in case teacher i am running an external modem . and when i tried it a popup comes up saying smpppd may not be running . i havent played with it as yet . i will update on it just as soon as i mess it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Hi GeorgeGlad it works . . . . but you can safely remove the safety-one ( Mandrake -2 ) because it really is useless if the "normal"- one works . . . . ( I just was not sure if Mandrake 10.0 used udev and only in that case the Mandrake-2 was needed . . . . now I see it has no udev, the Mandrake-2 will not work anyway ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
