|  Bios ide numbers 0x80,0x81... Hello! Does anybody know how the bios numbers the ide peripheals? It should be 0x80 Primary IDE master 0x81 Primary IDE slave 0x82 Secondary IDE master 0x83 Secondary IDE slave But what happens if some of them (for example Primary slave) is not present? Moreover, what happens if I select in the Bios the Secondary master to be the boot device rather than the Primary master? Please help me, I'm troubling with LILO loader! Thanx |

| If you tell the BIOS to boot the Secondary Master instead of the Primary Master, it will read the boot record from the drive that is the Secondary Master and attempt to load the OS. As for LILO, I would recommend going here and searching for LILO. It will be able to assist you greatly. Here is an article from there that may help.

| Hi rapuak I'm moving this thread to the Linux forum. I think you can get more help there  .

| I don't understand the reason for the problem with LILO unless you are trying to install a Linux distro on a RAID or unseen hdd. Since, I do not know what Linux distro (and version) and what controller you are using (onboard EIDE RAID, onboard EIDE, SCSI card, EIDE card, EIDE RAID card), I hope this might help you out from Linux SuSE: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/ke_eide-scsi.html http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/ide_raid.html As long as you have Linux installed on extended partitions, the secondary or primary drive should not matter. |
