[Linux-bruxelles] probleme lilo et 2 debian sur 2 ddurs

[Osvaldo La Rosa]

Voici ce qui se passe:
sur hda4 (darkstar) je n'ai presque plus de palce, enfin 300 mb; j'ai
donc installé une nouvelle Woody sur hdd5 (protheus) avec un home en
hdd6 et swap sur hdd2. (note: sur hdd bcp plus de place).
J'ai cp lilo.conf de l'ancienne et ai modifié root=/dev/hda4 en
root=/dev/hdd5
mais au moment d'écrire # lilo il donne un msg de io/err sur hdb (qui
est mon Iomega zip) non present dans le device.
Croyant flairer les ennuis, je réécris lilo en ayant remodifié root à
nouveau en /dev/hda4 et re # lilo:
eh bien j'ai dû rebooter sur une disquette DOS et faire un fdisk /mbr
puis booter mon ancienne Deb (darkstar) via c:\darkstar at loadlin vmlinuz
etc, réécrire # lilo à partir de là et j'ai enfin pu réutiliser le
menu lilo.

Jérôme me précisait hier que mon kernel doit se trouver dans les 1024
premiers secteurs, qq'un d'autre m'a plutôt conseillé de passer en grub.

Alors:
a) lilo ? si encore possible je fais comment?
b) ou grub?

Voici mon lilo.conf hda4:

# Generated by liloconfig

# Specifies the boot device
boot=/dev/hda

# Specifies the device that should be mounted as root.
# If the special name CURRENT is used, the root device is set to the
# device on which the root file system is currently mounted. If the root
# has been changed with  -r , the respective device is used. If the
# variable ROOT is omitted, the root device setting contained in the
# kernel image is used. It can be changed with the rdev program.
root=/dev/hda4

# Enables map compaction:
# Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single
# read request. This drastically reduces load time and keeps the map
# smaller. Using COMPACT is especially recommended when booting from a
# floppy disk.
# compact

# Install the specified file as the new boot sector.
# If INSTALL is omitted, /boot/boot.b is used as the default.
install=/boot/boot.b

# Specifies the number of _tenths_ of a second LILO should
# wait before booting the first image.  LILO
# doesn't wait if DELAY is omitted or if DELAY is set to zero.
delay=20

# Specifies the location of the map file. If MAP is
# omitted, a file /boot/map is used.
map=/boot/map

# Specifies the VGA text mode that should be selected when
# booting. The following values are recognized (case is ignored):
#   NORMAL  select normal 80x25 text mode.
#   EXTENDED  select 80x50 text mode. The word EXTENDED can be
#     abbreviated to EXT.
#   ASK  stop and ask for user input (at boot time).
#   <number>  use the corresponding text mode. A list of available modes
#     can be obtained by booting with  vga=ask  and pressing [Enter].
vga=normal
