Description of problem:
When the instalation process is started via ks=floppy, and a ks.cfg using lilo
to install on the mbr, all seems good, but at the final step when lilo is run
the console log shows an error:

Fatal error: open /boot/message: No such file or directory

That's is rigth, because in the directory /boot of the system installed there is
no message file, so I think there's an error in the lilo.conf, because has a
reference on a file that not exists, I mean the line:

message=/boot/message

You have to kill the message line from de lilo.conf.The 'dirty' solution, is to
put something like that in the %post section of the ks.cfg:

%post

mv /etc/lilo.conf /tmp
cat /tmp/lilo.cong | grep -v message > /etc/lilo.conf
/sbin/lilo -v -v -v


With that lines the the lilo is executed in the instalation process, then
reboots and all it's O.K.  The mbr is finally written.

Another solution is reboot with the Red Hat CD in rescue mode, mount the
partitions and do a chroot over your root partition, edit lilo.conf, delete
message line, run lilo and then reboot. This is harder solution, but it's OK if
you have finished your intalation process and your system is not booting.
 

 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install normally
2. Run the ks=floppy
3. When you reboot, mbr is 'untouched' (lilo is not run)
    

Actual Results:  You cannot boot, because when lilo througth the error , it's no
executed (so the mbr is clean)
