Lilo Can't Find A Kernel On A Big DriveAdded on:8/13/2008 11:02:16 PM

- On some big hard drives, LILO can have problems loading your kernel. The problem is because the hard drive has more then 1024 cylinders.
- The trick is to make sure your kernel is in the first 1024 cylinders so LILO can find it. The way to do this is to make a small /boot partition at the begining of the drive, and make sure the kernel is in the /boot directory.
- You can set the partitions in fdisk, and select the right path for the kernel in /etc/lilo.conf so LILO knows where it is. When you compile your kernel, simply move the new kernel in that directory so LILO can load it.
