lilo and grub woes [solved]

i seem to be having bootloader problems no matter which one i choose

My partions are

/dev/sda1 /boot
/dev/sda2 Swap
/dev/sda3 /home

boot=/dev/sda1

default=arch
timeout=50
lba32
prompt

image=/boot/vmlinuz26
        label=arch
        root=/dev/sda3
        initrd=/boot/kernel26.img
        read-only

all i get are a bunch of 99999 with lilo and a screen full of grub can some tell me what wrong so i can try and fix it thanx

i know to run lilo after doing changes

i also try writeing to the mbr no dice

The first line should read:

    boot=/dev/sda

Re: lilo and grub woes [solved]

On googling this for lilo here http://www.webservertalk.com/archive200 … 35228.html " 99 99 99 symptom and it indicates a bad lilo configuration."

Grub error here http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml both point to a bad configuration something isn't right with the configuration

Re: lilo and grub woes [solved]

My system has the same entries as yours with the exception that I have /hda nomenclature for my device(s).

Perhaps the " hooks" in your system are involved........ since both grub and lilo fail, that seems likely....
