Here is my lilo.conf file for dos/mu dual-boot on a ibm-thinkpad 360
(486, unknow mHz, 8mb ram 150mb HD)
#
# lilo.conf for muLinux
#
boot=/dev/hda
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
backup=/dev/null
message=/boot/message
read-write
vga=normal
delay=20
timeout=20
default=mulinux
prompt
compact
linear
image=/boot/mulinuz
label=mulinux.old
append="root=/dev/hda5
floppy=thinkpad"
image=/boot/mulinuz.new
label=mulinux
append="root=/dev/hda5
floppy=thinkpad"
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
table=/dev/hda
As you can see I have made a symlink of /bootmulinux.msg to
/boot/message because without it lilo crashed with segmentation
fault error. I also remember running the mu-liloconfig script and
gettin tons of error messages and a defunct lilo.conf. This can have
something to do with mount commands
And mu seems to have problems with read-only root (it doesn't
remount it succesfully)
So Michele, could you try a HD mu and lilo combo and see if you
can run my with root initially mounted as read-only??
