From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: After installing a system with GRUB as the default loader, one cannot easily switch back to LILO becuase lilo cannot be located on the system. The lilo utility should be found in /sbin. This is particulary troublesome, if for some reason your system doesn't boot in the first place and you are forced to do a 'linux rescue', only to find out that 'lilo' is not available on the system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): EL 3.0 Beta 2 build 330 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a system using GRUB as the default loader. 2. Boot the system. 3. Copy /etc/lilo.conf.anaconda to /etc/lilo.conf 4. Try to run lilo. lilo: command not found. Actual Results: I could not convert to the lilo boot loader without manually tracking down a copy of the lilo utility from the disc media. Expected Results: 'lilo' should have been installed in /sbin. After all, a 'lilo.conf.anaconda' is created for you in /etc just for the purpose of being allowed to switch back to the lilo boot loader.. Additional info: The same thing happens with the install for AS 2.1 Update 4 Beta.
LILO is deprecated, this is intentional. GRUB is the preferred boot loader for RHEL.
