Actual Results:  up2date stalled, not completing, after complaining about 
unsupported lilo.conf parameters

Additional info:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/gui.py", line 600, in doInstallation
    up2date.installBootLoader(kernelsToInstall)
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/up2date.py", line 2222, in installBootLoader

lilocfg.LiloConfParseError: lilo options that are not supported by up2date 
are used in the default lilo.conf. This file will not be modified. The 
options include:

['disk=/dev/sda', 'bios=0x80', 'disk=/dev/hda', 'bios=0x81']

Comment 1 Adrian Likins 2001-10-23 23:56:07 UTC
The next version of the up2date client does include support for
these paramaters.

Comment 2 David M. Cook 2001-11-06 20:20:29 UTC
Verified.
