You need to update the mapping when you change files.
You mean type 'lilo' and hit enter?
And updating lilo.conf. Which does not work automatically any more in 11.1, at least not in my installation. Of course, if you like to live risky and don't keep old kernels around, you've got no conf file to update. But I got to old for that hazarduous strategy... ;-) Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm old (fashioned), I've never let YaST do anything to my lilo.conf except for the initial install. I've also rarely had reason to change anything in lilo.conf once I've put a server or a desktop PC into production. On test-rigs, I edit /etc/lilo.conf+/etc/sysconfig/kernel myself, run mkinitrd and lilo myself. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
