whats the output of `/sbin/lilo -v -t` on that box with its current lilo.conf? I tried "lilo -vt" and "lilo -vvt" as you suggested and both gave an error. Here is the output from "lilo -v" [root@gander root]# lilo -v LILO version 21.4-4, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger 'lba32' extensions Copyright (C) 1999,2000 John Coffman Reading boot sector from /dev/sda Merging with /boot/boot.b Mapping message file /boot/message Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-9.EL Mapping RAM disk /boot/initrd-2.4.21-9.EL.img Added 2.4.21-9.EL Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.0.2.EL Mapping RAM disk /boot/initrd-2.4.21-4.0.2.EL.img Added 2.4.21-4.0.2.EL Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.EL Mapping RAM disk /boot/initrd-2.4.21-4.EL.img Added linux * /boot/boot.0800 exists - no backup copy made. Writing boot sector. However, we cannot use grub on these Proliant boxes where we are using lilo. I think its the ethernet card, but I can't remember. It was somebody at RedHat support that told us a year ago we should switch from grub to lilo and that would take care of our problems. And it did take care of our problems. But that was with ES 2.1 not ES3. -- dean Is there any update on this issue?. If its the problem I think it is, the version slated for U2 should include a fix (problem with lilo labels getting too long) try 4.2.14 rhel2.1-u5 and rhel3.0-u6 versions should include fixes for all the lilo cases I've been able to reproduce |
