*never* ignore a lilo error.
Especially when it says "Fatal".... :-)
Just comment out the "message line" from lilo.conf and see if it works.
I have asked a wrong question. Correct one: How it was done before and was able to run without problems if /boot/message size is limited to 65535 bytes? Could anyone else please with default SuSE 8.2 Pro (with lilo) installation check their /boot/message size?
Probably because suse was using a patched version of lilo, and now they are using grub, which probably allows it. The message isn't important to booting, I delete it out anyways. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
