Suse server doesn't reboot after I run Yast2
I just wanted to update my server using Yast2. I used automatic upgrade. It told me to execute /sbin/SuSEconf after the reboot and also /sbin/lilo because Lilo was upgraded.I ran /sbin/SuSEconf and that worked but /sbin/lilo didn't. I simply couldn't execute it. So I thought it was not neccessary and rebootet anyway. After this the server did not come back online. Then I accessed the server using a remore emergency system (its a pureserver/1and1 server).
I did mount hda1 and hda3 and had access to the file system. I executed /sbin/lilo and now it worked but told me that /dev/sda was not there. I had a look at lilo.conf and saw a line saying boot = /dev/sda (first line) so I changed it to /dev/hda1. Then I ran /sbin/lilo again and now it said something like
warning: lba32 assumed
Added Linux *
Added failsafe
However, after rebooting in the normal system it still didn't boot. I tried both: boot=/dev/hda and boot=/dev/hda1. Both doesn't work.
Here is my lilo.conf file (rescue:/# vi /etc/lilo.conf):
boot = /dev/hda1
change-rules
reset
read-only
menu-scheme = Wb:kw:Wb:Wb
prompt
timeout = 80
message = /boot/message
image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = linux
root = /dev/hda3
initrd = /boot/initrd
image = /boot/vmlinuz.shipped
label = failsafe
root = /dev/hda3
initrd = /boot/initrd.shipped
append = "ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off vga=normal nosmp maxcpus=0 disableapic 3"
optional
Any help is greatly appreciated since I do not get any support for the server. Pureserver/1and1 tells me they can only reformat the server
