Jeremy did you have a bug like this you fixed already? No, I fixed the opposite where having quotes caused lilo to be unhappy. *sigh* Actually, looking more closely, this should be fixed in our current codebase. anaconda-8.0.94-0.20030210014339 (from the re0210.0 tree) is still stripping the quotes from the lilo.conf label fields, leaving the machine unable to boot. Actually, I lied. We are still stripping the quotes, but the machine still boots as well . . . pretty damn odd. There are some places that we have to strip quotes and some places where if we do, it causes bad things to happen. lilo config parsing makes my head hurt. Closing out then. |
