Problem dual booting
by BobKay from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6PJT2)
I'm starting with a machine that has Slackware 14.2 installed of a SSD/HD pair. My aim is to install Slackware 15.0 on a second SSD/HD pair then dual boot the system. I have removed the old drives and installed Slackware 15.0 on a pair of new drives. I have changed fstab in both systems to mount via UUIDs instead of device nodes, and all works fine individually.I edited lilo.conf on the 15.0 system to use IDs/UUIDS instead of device nodes; specifically:
Code:boot = /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WD_Blue_SA510_2.5_500GB_231518800946
...
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = "UUID=a74fd796-d548-4f42-a390-e9c4a3ca8822"
label = Linux
read-onlyI ran lilo -t with no errors, just the LBA warning. I then ran lilo and the system gets a kernel panic when booting 15.0. This is with only the 15.0 drives in the system. 14.2 works fine with or without the 15.0 drives installed.
How do I fix this?
