Hi, it seems that global options are ignored for lilo. Additionally, "timeout=80000" is inserted into lilo.conf, stopping the AY bootloader configuration. My bootloader profile for SLES 11 looks like this: <bootloader> <loader_type>lilo</loader_type> <loader_device>/dev/sda</loader_device> <location>custom</location> <global config:type="list"> <global_entry> <key>prompt</key> <value config:type="boolean">true</value> </global_entry> <global_entry> <key>vga</key> <value>normal</value> </global_entry> <global_entry> <key>timeout</key> <value>80</value> </global_entry> <global_entry> <key>message</key> <value config:type="boolean">false</value> </global_entry> <global_entry> <key>large-memory</key> <value config:type="boolean">true</value> </global_entry> </global> </bootloader> The resulting lilo.conf (that I see when I login with ssh after AY stopped with an error about the timeout value) is this: # Modified by YaST2. Last modification on Fr Apr 17 13:05:23 UTC 2009 menu-scheme = Wb:kw:Wb:Wb timeout = 80000 lba32 change-rules reset prompt default = Linux boot = /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500JS-60MHB5_WD-WCANKH180905 ... (sections) Thus: - large-memory not added - timeout wrong - vga not added prompt/message might have been ignored, too, and just set as default, I'm not sure. Do the global options not work at all? And what about this timeout bug, is it known? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
