Hello everyone,
during update and split of lvm2 package we detected failure [1] in lilo to build because of broken br/r set on device-mapper.
Now the easy solution is to replace that device-mapper-32bit with the proper split-out library and be done with it. But I would like to figure out if we have still some people using the lilo now.
Installer does support only grub2 and lilo is quite archaic today. I would then propose to remove lilo from Factory instead of just fixing it and leaving be.
Please keep lilo. That's the only boot-manager we use.
Just out of curiosity... Why?
Never had any reason to switch, grub doesn't offer anything we need.
Is there some reason you cannot switch to GRUB?
No particular reason but time and effort. We probably have some scripts that only deal with lilo. Personally speaking, I find lilo easier to deal with, especially in situations where a machine ends up in a non-booting state. Maybe it's also just habit. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
