First on boot a black screen with LIL across the top for 40 secs, then ERROR: DUPLICATE VOLUME ID. The bot prcess then takes a while to start and the visible part (Mandriva 2006 official) takes an age checking file systems. Also the whole system seems slower, apps taking more power to use, stuttering mouse movements when two or more memory intensive things running. All new. I have checked. The advice is to run lilo -T vol-id. This produces BIOS Volume ID 0x80 0D179473 0x81 0D179473 * Volume ID's are NOT unique. '*' marks a volume ID which is duplicated. Duplicated ID's must be resolved before installing a new boot loader. The volume ID may be cleared using the '-z' and '-M' switches. Running lilo -z -M /dev/hdb or even the same for hda makes no difference. As the advice says then run lilo -v to re-install. How can I actually see what these bios ids relate to in drives? Does it make any difference? It may relate to the USB dvd burner as when I load a dvd on this device the entire system slows down to access it. Again new, but attempting to remove BIOs IDs from disk drives just results in lio saying they're inaccesable. Help recieved gratefuly.

I had a similar issue a while back, I cant remember how I solved it, but as I am quite bad at remembering I am also quite anal at writing things down I will hunt out what I did and post back if/when I find it. Thats even assuming you havent already resolved it? ---B Taskerhttps://www.bentasker.co.uk shifty_ben LXF regular Posts: 1293Joined: Tue Oct 04, 2005 9:56 amLocation: Ipswich Website Top RE: lilo duplicated volume ID by SimonRobert » Tue Feb 21, 2006 6:56 am Please could you look out your notes on this, I've still not solved it.
