From: erc@khijol.uucp (Ed Carp) Subject: LILO 10 doesn't recognize /etc/lilo/disktab Date: Mon, 5 Jul 1993 04:30:41 GMT
I just got a new SCSI controller for my system, and decided to try it out.
So, LILO tells me that I need to build /etc/lilo/disktab, so I run dparam.com
from MSDOS and copy the parameters into /etc/lilo/disktab, then rerun lilo.
Doesn't work!
HDIO_REQ not supported for your SCSI controller. Please use /etc/lilo/disktab
Her's what /etc/lilo/disktab looks like:
# /etc/lilo/disktab - LILO disk parameter table
#
# This table contains disk parameters for SCSI disks and non-
# standard parameters of IDE disks. Parameters in disktab
# _always_ override auto-detected disk parameters.
# Dev. BIOS Secs/ Heads/ Cylin- Part.
# num. code track cylin. ders offset
# (optional)
#0x800 0x80 32 64 202 0 # /dev/sda
0x800 0x80 63 15 113
0x803 0x80 63 15 113
So ... why isn't lilo picking it up??????
