What is the important reason to use lilo instead of grub? I don't miss the necessary of running lilo after every kernel update.-) > This is not the first time I get an unbootable system due to a kernel > upgrade, and I have complained before that Arch really should have a system > with multiple kernels, or at least a way to save a backup kernel, so if an > upgrade breaks the system, it should still be possible to boot.

Arch have more than one kernel package. kernel26ck works excellent too. With arch i never have had such a problem. But i use more than one kernel, which is even a good idea, and i even update the kernel with running another kernel because i be used to do this with my former distribution. Perhaps this could be a option for you too. See you, Attila _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
