Hi there,
I put xfs onto my RH7.1 system by first upgrading the
RPMs, adding a disk, making xfs partitions, and the cp -a
each of the partitions to the new xfs partitions.
I modified lilo.conf to do the right thing, and ran
lilo chrooted and pointing to the right disk, then ran lilo.
I swapped drives (pri and sec), and get "LI" instead of
LILO.
I then switched pir and sec drives so that the original
pri is pri again, and added an 'xfs' stanza to the lilo.conf.
This boots the sec drive nicely.
I tried to run LILO from this again, but with the same LI
result.
So how should I get LILO booting off this new drive so
that I can put the old drive to use someplace else?
I've been using Linux since '92, so I've tried all the
obvious stuff.
Below is my lilo.conf. Note that right now, /dev/hdb is
the xfs disk that I want to make /dev/hda, hence the /dev/hda and
/dev/hdb inconsistency. WHen I run lilo, it should (and does)
modify /dev/hdb, when I boot, it is configed as /dev/hda.
thanks,
rob
