Hello, I came accross the following problem doing an "Update" intstall of 8.2 :
Install had reached the "Load Bootloader" phase. I was asked where to put the boot loader and I selected MBR. A dialog appeared stating installation of the boot loader had failed due to a syntax "on or after line 28" in lilo.conf. (Running "lilo -v" on the same file produces no error output and correctly ammends the boot stuff) I was then offered a dialog offering me "Modify", "Add" and "Done". On selection of "Done" the dialog informing me that the installation of the boot loader had failed due to a syntax "on or after line 28" in lilo.conf reappeared and I was sent back to the dialog asking me where to put the boot loader (MBR or 1st Sector). And that was as far as the update could go ! I could basically only go around the same loop. No available option would either allow me to skip this step (understandable ?) or to edit the contents of lilo.conf (as I was doing an Update maybe this would be acceptable ?) Using the buttons down the left hand side and using F11 to effectively do an ntsysv I was basically able to complete a lot of the Upgrade, but I kept being taken back to the dialog asking me where to put the boot loader. All I could do was <Ctrl><Alt><Backspace> and reboot. Since I don't know what is wrong with lilo.conf it is a bit tricky to fix, but then if it is okay for "lilo -v" what is upsetting the installer ?
