running Vector in Slackware's LILO
guys, hope somebody could help me: i have chosen to INSTALL vector's LILO in the sector (not MBR, bcause i want to use my slackware's LILO in loading vector) NOW, after i have chosen to install vector on /dev/hdc12 (this is the name of my ROOT drive of vector) the message was : successfully installed . . .so i edited my lilo.conf in slack adding :
other = /dev/hdc12
label = vector linux
but after saving and rebooting my PC, I STILL CANNOT SEE THE LABEL OF vector in my LILO...

Vector uses the 2.6 kernel, yes? Then you need to point to the initrd in the very same way the initrd is pointed to in Slackware. Check /etc/lilo.conf. After making the necessary changes, run:
as root.Code:lilo
