Hi there,
I've just installed Suse 7.3 on a RS6000 43P-150. The installation was working fine, but ... when I reboot the system, I'm getting this error message : Word called in boot-manager package not found. ... Failed to boot.
Of course, I could configure the multiboot way, boot on the cd 2 and boot the system, but I should prefer to find the right solution.
you need a 0x41 PReP Boot partition, run fdisk -l to check if you have one. Then point the boot= line in /etc/lilo.conf to that partition and run lilo. image= should be /boot/vmlinux
I've checked, and all is like you described ... but not running You'll find below lilo.conf and the fdisk result
