Product: lilo Component: program Summary: Need option to bypass boot sector check Product: lilo Version: 22.5.7.2-4mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: program AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] LILO will refuse to process a lilo.conf file if it contains an "other" entry pointing to a partition which does not at that moment have a valid boot sector. This is annoying if you have partitions around for purposes of installing cooker. If an install fails after formatting the partition but before installing the bootloader, you're screwed if you have to rerun LILO for any reason (like a new version of the isolinux files) unless you comment the entry out. LILO needs a "mind your own business and do as you're told" option. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
