I have been trying to solve a problem with Ubuntu booting on one of my machines. So, I have found these links helpful:
- Ubuntu Wiki: Grub 2
- Ubuntu Documentation: Grub 2
- DSL Reports.com: Why does LILO freeze when booting my system?
- Tech Support Forums: Why does LILO hangs up at start up??
These instructions were very handy for mounting an already installed system from a LiveCD:
sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev sudo mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
Then, to be able to get Internet from the system, I had to copy my resolv.conf into it:
sudo cp /etc/resolve.conf /mnt/etc
Then, to work on the system, I ran:
sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash
And, then, I can run commands like:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install lilo
Here are some more Lilo links:
- Booting Ubuntu 9.10 – Part 2 (The Koala Reborn)
- Changing from GRUB to LILO: Ubuntu 7.04
- bug report relating to “large-memory”
I still haven’t solved my problem with all of these links, so here is my forum post if you know of anything that I am missing:
