Hi! As some of you've noticed, the bootloader configuration in openSUSE was not in best shape for a couple of releases. Therefore, we plan to drop the support for lilo bootloader from YaST (and thus installation) and leave grub as the only supported bootloader on i386 and x86_64 in openSUSE 11.1. The reason is that there are almost no technical advantages to keep both bootloaders and it makes a lot of sense to focus on a single solution and improve it. As part of this strategy, we also want to document bootloader deployment strategies that are supported by the YaST code and where the users should expect the code to work reliably. The change will mean: 1) YaST bootloader code for lilo will be dropped 2) YaST installation will offer to not install any bootloader, so an experienced user can use this to install lilo manually 3) kernel packages will be unable to adapt lilo configuration automatically, this needs to be done manually after installing a new kernel package Any feedback appreciated.
