That's about the kind of problem I had with lilo trying to restore bootability
to my first hard disk. I wanted to make the Linux partition bootable, though
/usr was in a partition on the second hard disk, apparently trashed. The reason
for wanting to make this Linux root partition bootable was because I was able to
access the CD-ROM from that version, and I wouldn't be prompted for a ramdisk
image diskette, as would happen if I used LOADLIN with mount root=/dev/hda6. I
used lilo with full path, or ./lilo if I were in that directory. Linux is
blind!
Now what is ldd? Is it a Linux executable file, or is it an internal command?
Now there is another explanation, found in a tagline on a NetBSD emailing list:
"GNU/Linux: About as stable as the elements at the bottom of the periodic
table"
