Hello Anas,
also make sure you are using Service Pack 3, otherwise lilo will always be used.
How can I "make sure" that I'm using SP3? Kernel and initrd from SP3 are loaded, the contents of the two SP3 CDs is in our autoyast root directory and the first entries in yast/order are pointing to these directories.
Hello,
we are installing SLES8 with SP3 through HTTP. Although we specified grub as the boot loader we still get lilo installed by default and have to replace it with grub in our post install script.
<bootloader> <location>mbr</location> <loader_type>grub</loader_type> <loader_device>/dev/cciss/c0d0</loader_device> <kernel_parameters>acpi=off 3</kernel_parameters> <initrd_modules config:type="list"> <module></module> </initrd_modules> </bootloader>
Hardware are HP server with /, /boot and /var mounted on normal

(HW RAID 1) and /home, /tmp and /usr mounted to LVM volumes (same RAID 1). All file systems are XFS.
Kernel and initrd in tftp directory are from SP3, we have the driverupdate file from SP3 CD1 linked to our SLES8 installation root (/autoyast/SLES8), in yast/order the paths to SP3 CD1 and CD2 are listed as the first entries.
Regards,
