I've initially installed RedHat 5.1 on a system with two IDE HD's on the
first IDE controller (master/slave, of course), an IDE CD ROM on the
second IDE controller, and a SCSI drive on an Adaptec 1542 card. RedHat
is on the SCSI drive, and LILO takes care of booting it just fine.
I'd like to pull the second (slave) IDE out of the system, but that seems
to confuse LILO. I assume this is because LILO thinks my SCSI drive
should be BIOS drive 0x82, which it normally is since the Adaptec card
patches the BIOS to make a SCSI disk visible via BIOS calls. When I pull
the slave IDE, the Adaptec patches the SCSI drive in as BIOS drive 0x81,
which seems to make LILO think the SCSI disk is gone.
Or so I think.
Anyway, anyone have any good ideas as to what I need to do to reeducate
LILO? I am admittedly not a LILO expert, so I'm probably just missing
something obvious....
