Hello,

I have some troubles using lilo with the kernel kernel-default-3.1.rc7-3.1 that 
comes with 12.1 beta1.

I run into the error:

Fatal: Setup length exceeds 31 maximum; kernel setup will overwrite boot loader.

When I increase verbose level to maximum I got information
that it has 33 sectors, so is bigger then maximum.

After some investigation I have found that other Linux distributions have run 
into this issue and the LILO development teem already corrected in the latest 
release:

New LILO version 23.2 is released

Summary:New LILO version 23.2 is released
Project:LILO Linux Bootloader

This new version now works with very new linux kernels (>= 2.6.36). Added some 
fixes for source code and manpages. Added new scripts liloconfig and 
lilo-uuid-diskid as used for Debian.

Development Status : 4 - Beta :
Environment : Console (Text Based) :
Intended Audience : System Administrators :
License : BSD License :
Operating System : BSD :
Linux :
Programming Language : Assembly :
C :
Topic : Init :

As we can see the 12.1 beta1 release uses lilo-22.8-66.4

I would kindly ask the responsible maintainer to include the latest lilo 
release into the upcoming opensuse releases.

Thank you.

Regards,
Z
