Bootloader problems
Hi folks;
I've been trying to get Knoppix 3.6 installed and booting on a RAID1 logical drive on a 3-year old frankenserver sporting an obsolete/unsupported Adaptec RAIDPort III controller and not having a lot of luck.
The system boots Knoppix just fine using the 'knoppix26' 2.6 kernel option, and sees the drives. I was able to configure a RAID1 logical device ('/dev/md0') just fine using 'mkraid'. I was then able to install Knoppix to the hard drive using the 'knx2hd' script provided. I chose the option to install LILO to the MBR.
On boot, however, the thing just hangs without even the first 'L'. This occurs using the boot floppy, or not. I've tried editing lilo.conf to boot from either /dev/sda1 (the first physical drive) or /dev/md0, but both are equally unsuccessful.
Thoughts?
