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.
