Description Tobias Ringstrom 2001-09-11 17:47:58 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010809

Description of problem:
The installation program installs the LILO RPM, even when GRUB is selected
as the boot loader, and also creates /etc/lilo.

When running "make install" for a kernel, /sbin/installkernel is run, which
in turn runs lilo, and then overwrites the GRUB boot sector.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use GRUB as boot loaded, and have LILO installed also
2. "make install" for a kernel
3. No more GRUB...
	

Actual Results:  The GRUB bootsector is overwritten.

Expected Results:  LILO should not be installed and used if GRUB is
selected as boot loaded during the installation.

The new version of grubby now support lilo; new-kernel-pkg needs to be updated
to use it to resolve this bug properly.
Comment 8 Erik Troan 2002-06-20 02:35:16 UTC 
fixed in latest mkinitrd (lilo/grub should be updated properly)
