Lilo doesn't get written in MBR
by Miguel Gómez 04 Oct '02

04 Oct '02

Hi, I'm trying to auto-install SuSE 8.0 keeping an existing Windows partition. The problem is that lilo doesn´t get written in the MBR although I specify the following configuration in the profile: <bootloader> <write_bootloader>true</write_bootloader> <lba_support config:type="boolean" >true</lba_support> <activate config:type="boolean" >true</activate> <linear config:type="boolean" >false</linear> <location>mbr</location> <parameters></parameters> </bootloader> I get an error saying that lilo couldn't be written in the MBR. Is there anything wrong in my profile's bootloader configuration? My second problem is that, although I set the "linear" tag to false, it gets written in the lilo.conf file. This causes an error when I run lilo because the "lba32" and "linear" tags are incompatible in the same lilo.conf file. Can anyone help, please? Regards, Miguel Gómez Rodríguez gomez(a)dit.upm.es

Booting from a floppy
by Jens Rathmann 03 Oct '02

Hi I just try this latest Autoyast, wondering why the docs say it's recommended not to use a simple boot disk to initiate the install. Seems there've to be some (large) packages on the initial boot media!? Could anyone explain why? I don't want to use a CD or another bigsize media to initiate. All the installation data should be available via nfs or ftp, so why is it needed (from the docs: "... is limited due to the size of the data a floppy can hold"). If it's really not possible how do I use Autoyast without any CD or PXE available at the client machines? Thanks in advance, Jens
