Hi Marcel.
I'm a newbie and had this problem (01 01 01...). I got around it by placing a /boot partition (1 cyl, 10Mb) on the primary HD and the rest on the second HD.
Hope this helps.
Thanx - this could indeed be the problem. Other machines had a separate /boot partition and installed fine. The affected setup has no /boot entry. Anyhow - I think this is either a bug in the lilo configuration or it should be mentioned somewhere that you need to have a /boot partition to make lilo work. Ciao, Marcel

YaST2 seems to have problems if the install uses non-standard partitioning setups (such as installation on the second harddisk, or preserving an existing partition). At least I got this impression as it worked ok on all Systems with one "all Linux" harddisk.
Now I only get things like
LIL- or 01010101010101...(forever) or 08080808080808...(forever)
and the lilo.conf is not based on the setup on my autoyast.xml
I'd like to use a template or whatever to make things work.
Perhaps there's even some option I could try, but unfortunately the docs are neither consistent nor up-to-date:
According to "profile.elem.bootloader.html" bootloader only contains: (activate,linear,location,parameters), but in the example section there are several other things mentioned:
<bootloader> <write_bootloader>true</write_bootloader> <location>mbr</location> <linear>false</linear> <lba_support>false</lba_support> <activate>true</activate> <kernel_parameters></kernel_parameters> <initrd_modules config:type="list" > <module>+++some kernel module name+++</module> </initrd_modules> </bootloader>
I'd appreciate any hints and I'd be especially happy about a complete and up-do-date description of the available options.
Ciao, Marcel
