Hello all,
Intro: I have been using LILO for ages. Now running Wheezy 7.11 LTS. As
usual and for test purposes on older machines I have two kernel
flavours: 486 and 686-rt. In LILO boot menu they appear as Linux486 and
Linux686 (before renaming they were Linux and LinuxOLD). Both work nice
on two desktops of different age.
Anyway, few years ago I had a repetitive problem with the 686-rt kernel
slowing down the touch pad on a laptop, so I decided to remove it
completely. So in the LILO menu was left just one boot option. Recently
I decided to install 686-rt again, and during the installation it added
new config*, init.rd*, and vmlinuz* into /boot, but it did not add any
new init.rd* and vmlinuz* links into /. And without that LILO still
keeps one entry. Any idea how to produce new links in / in order to
recreate the second boot entry? (In lilo.conf everything is the same as
in desktops, however /sbin/lilo complains about missing links in /)
M.S.
