Description Hans de Goede 2001-03-20 16:28:41 UTC
Graphical upgrade:

The lilo config screen only contains linux as boot image,
but the installer also preserves non RH lilo boot images as options,
this is not consistent.

Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2001-03-20 19:40:36 UTC
What are the additional boot options which do not show up on the graphical lilo
screen?

What does your /etc/lilo.conf look like?

Comment 2 Hans de Goede 2001-03-21 16:26:50 UTC
To be clear it aren't extra options its an extra boot image (kernel image) which
doesn't show up, the win4lin one:
--- begin /etc/lilo.conf ---
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
linear
default=linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
        label=win4lin
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16-22.img
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda1

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.1-0.1.9
        label=linux
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.1-0.1.9.img
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda1
--- end ---

This is after an upgrade, so to be clear:
-in the installer during lilo config I only see and can only edit the linux
 boot image
-but the installer does retain the win4lin one, yet I don't see it?

Brent please look into.

Comment 4 Brent Fox 2001-03-21 20:40:29 UTC
We only display lilo entries that we write out.  Other changes that you may make
manually are presevered, they just aren't displayed during an upgrade.  This
isn't something we will change for the upcoming release, but I'll put this on
our list of issues to think about for future releases.  Thanks for your report.

Comment 5 Michael Fulbright 2002-03-26 17:27:06 UTC
Deferred to future release.

Comment 6 Michael Fulbright 2002-05-26 18:59:48 UTC
Fixing bug status- sorry for the email.
