Not connecting Zenwalk
by patounet from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59GG7)
Bonjour everybody,
I'v tried to install Zenwalk on a 2nd device ( sdb), so, here is how I did.
The laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7 with 2 hard drive ( Sda and Sdb)
Zenwalk is on Sdb, while Slack is on Sda.
First, to be sure not to make a mistake, I've get out my first device (sda), insert the new one at it's final place .
So, I quietly installed ZenWalk from a usb key. When I run it ; every thing was OK.
So I put back my first device in its slot, I modify the lilo of the Slackware to point in 2nd choice on sdb fhis way :

But, unfortunatly, if I choose Zenwalk, I can't log in because my keyboard is off, neither the mouse, nothing ; I just can switch the power off of the laptop. and strangely, though inittab is set to run level = 3 ( without graphical login), that's what I've got*!!!???!!!
Here is the problem.
