Title: lilo.conf contents for software RAID1
Post by: raem on August 31, 2004, 05:51:21 AM

Hi All
I have a problem with a server after replacing a faulty drive and rebuilding the software RAID1 array. It won't boot up if the newly replaced ide drive (hda) is enabled. It does boot up OK with only hdc enabled in the bios. It looks like the lilo.conf is not right. Could someone post the contents of a good /etc/lilo.conf for a server configured with ide drives on Primary Master and Secondary Master. Thanks.

I hope this is what your looking for Ray, what your asking does go a little over my head, anyway this is the lilo.conf taken from the 5.6 server at work with a raid setup( now if it is the correct one your after I'm not sure) but here it is anyway:

Dear funkusmunkus
>.....this is the lilo.conf taken from the 5.6 server at work with a raid setup

That's what I am after, but it does look like a v6.x server lilo.conf. Are you sure it was from a v5.6 server ? It's not a problem becasuse I really wanted it from a 6.x machine anyway.

Thanks

Well until i actually get around to upgrading to 6.0.1  ;-) and not get the DNS udp flood, I'm stuck with 5.6

funkusmunkus

That steered me in the right direction. I fixed lilo.conf
ran
lilo
and now reboots with both drives enabled.
Thanks
