Why is LILO failing?
I've just installed a new version of lilo and i have a problem getting it to work. It says there is an error in my configuration. Here's the info: - [ROOT: /]# cat /etc/lilo.conf boot = /dev/hda root = /dev/hda2 vga = normal block image = /vmlinuz label = linux read-only image = /vmlinuz.old label = old read-only [ROOT: /]# lilo -v LILO version 21, Copyright 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger Reading boot sector from /dev/hda Merging with /boot/boot.b Syntax error near line 5 in file /etc/lilo.conf [ROOT: /]# ls -l /vmlinuz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 576594 Jan 27 10:04 /vmlinuz [ROOT: /]# df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 1147127976042111815 90% / [ROOT: /]# uname -a Linux arwen 2.2.0 #9 Wed Jan 27 09:42:15 CET 1999 i586 unknown - The kernel is compiled with bzlilo if that gives any more information. I'd appreciate some thoughts about my problem. Regards // Marwin -- | Björn Elwhagen aka Marwin Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Student at Wexio University for PGP public key. | | SwedenICQ: 356095 |

If you take it out, does it work then? H...Tnx...i have no idea how i could have missed that fact. I looked through the manualpages and looked at every line in my lilo.conf, or so i thought at least. block must have been removed in this release since it worked b4. Works like a charm now! Thanks a bunch! *embarrased look on my face* // Marwin -- | Björn Elwhagen aka Marwin Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Student at Wexio University for PGP public key. | | SwedenICQ: 356095 |
