I'm running SuSE 7.3. For some reason lilo stopped working (no it was not immediately after a kernel or initrd upgrade), giving me LIL- at boot-up. After re-running lilo after booting from a grub rescue disk a while back, it started giving me the nice SuSE graphical screen but the booting process would end in a kernel panic. After a few more tries in getting it to work I switched to grub - which after some pain in installing works fine (and is more powerful, but I was reluctant to switch before now because I don't like to mess with something as important as a boot loader; especially when the boot loader has a scary version number like 0.91 ;-) ) Does anyone have an idea as to why lilo stopped working, even after re-running it to make sure it was properly synced with the kernel, while simply switching it with grub cured the problem? -- Baker's First Law of Federal Geometry: A block grant is a solid mass of money surrounded on all sides by governors.
Hi Maybe something changed in Your system so, that You should have ran "mkinitrd" in order to rebuild the initial ramdisk image (initrd)... Jaska. Viestissä Tiistai 23. Huhtikuuta 2002 04:04, Joshua Lee kirjoitti:
