The hard disk has a one GB partition (/dev/hda1) with MS-DOS V5.0 on it, this is to be preserved. The remaining 79 GB are free for Linux. New installation of SuSEV9.2, changed bootloader from Grub to LILO. When the system is ready to install the bootloader, I get the message Fatal: LILO internal error: would overwrite Partition Table Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed Warning: boot record relocation is necessary: /dev/sda in lilo.conf, boot is set to /dev/sda. I can't see any reason why the boot sector could not be in the MBR. When I change the bootloader to Grub, it works and the system is bootable. All the other machines we have run LILO as the boot loader, and for consistencys sake, I would like to boot this one too using LILO. Why can Grub use the MBR as boot sector but LILO can't? What do I do to get LILO going? Thanks Peter
