When I try to install an alternate version of lilo.conf into MBR, I
get a segmentation fault. Here are the details:
If root runs $ bin/lilo -v
LILO version 2.1
reading boot sector for /dev/hda
merging with /boot /boot.b
Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
Added linux*
/bootboot.0.300 exists
writing boot sector
I want to boot one of two versions of the kernel, and so edit
lilo.conf as follows:
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
# original kernel renamed:
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.2.14-5.0-old
label=old
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
# the new kernel version
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0-new
label=new
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
In /boot I have vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0 and a duplicate named
vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0-old and also a vmlinux-2.2.14-5.0-new. They have
full read permissions.
I replace /etc/lilo.conf with the double stanza version and as root
run /sbin/lilo:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
