Adrian -- do you know of a reason why up2date would be trying to add the vmlinux instead of the vmlinuz to lilo.conf? |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: Use up2date to up date Kernel "vmlinux-2.4.20-18.7", update was ok except lilo sent error message "Error installing lilo.conf The message was: test install of lilo failed". I then maually edited lilo, ran "/sbin/lilo -v", returns error "Fatal: Kernel /boot/vmlinux-2.4.20-18.7 is too big" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.20-18.7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run "/sbin/lilo -v" 2. 3. Actual Results: [root@ns2 /etc]# /sbin/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/hda Merging with /boot/boot.b Mapping message file /boot/message Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-18.7.x Added linux.bak1234 Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-18.7.xsmp Added linux-smp Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-27.7.x Added linux * Boot image: /boot/vmlinux-2.4.20-18.7 Fatal: Kernel /boot/vmlinux-2.4.20-18.7 is too big Additional info:
