Folks (and esp. kernel-source/image maintainters), Based on the following experience, I would like to suggest that that the kernel package should "depend on" or "recommend" Lilo>17. At the very least, it might be good to give a heads up to problems with versions earlier than 18 in the README.
I compiled 2.0.25 today with Debian 1.1.X (some things updated but not completely in sync with rex). No problems with the kernel but Lilo (v17) gave the message: "Wrong loader, giving up . . ." The old kernel (2.0.5) loaded just fine using Lilo and the new one booted fine from a floppy. It turns out that upgrading to Lilo v19 fixed the problem. Looking at the new Lilo docs combined with a lilo -v -v -q revealed that the 2.0.25 is loaded high and this this requires Lilo >=18. --Martin =========================================================================== Martin Weinberg Phone: (413) 545-3821 Dept. of Physics and Astronomy FAX: (413) 545-2117/0648 530 Graduate Research Tower University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA 01003-4525 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
