lilo and removable media

lilo and removable media

[J . A . Magallon]

Hi, everyone.

I have recently added an IDE ZIP drive to the system, and when I run lilo
I get the following messages:
Jan 22 16:01:05 werewolf kernel: ide-floppy: hda: I/O error, pc =  0, key =  2,
asc = 3a, ascq =  0
Jan 22 16:01:05 werewolf kernel: ide-floppy: hda: I/O error, pc = 1b, key =  2,
asc = 3a, ascq =  0
Jan 22 16:01:05 werewolf kernel: ide-floppy: hda: I/O error, pc = 5a, key =  5,
asc = 24, ascq =  0

Also, if I run lilo with the zip (/dev/hda) mounted, or unmounted but
still inserted, I get:

Warning: /dev/sda is not on the first disk

and the box does not boot, get stuck at 'LI'. If I run lilo without a
zip in the drive, I get the above messages but al works allright.

Is there any way to say lilo to ignore hda ?

My /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda1	/			ext2	defaults 1 1
/dev/sda8	swap		swap	defaults 0 0
proc		/proc		proc	defaults 0 0
swapfs		/dev/shm	swapfs	defaults 0 0
devpts		/dev/pts	devpts	mode=0620 0 0
/dev/sda5	/usr		ext2	defaults 1 2
/dev/sda6	/usr/local	ext2	defaults 1 2
/dev/sda7	/home		ext2	defaults 1 2
/dev/hda	/mnt/zip	auto	user,noauto,nosuid,noexec,nodev 0 0

Have a look to the lilo.conf man page at the keyword "disk=".
