Hi!
MDK 9.2 Beta2 installation routine CD1 failed to write the LILO bootrecord.
Hardware: Athlon 1100XP, 256 MB, Seagate 40810A, Riva TNT 16 MB, cheap
Elitegroup mobo (Controller: AMD 751/756 Viper), DM9102 Nic
Previous install was a Knoppix 3.2, Lilo in MBR
During install of 9.2b2 from CD I changed the whole harddisk layout manually,
then Lilo should be written to MBR, it failed. I tried to write it to a floppy
without a floppy in the drive, it gave me the same failure description like with
the harddisk ... didn't write it down unfortunately. Looked like it couldnt
recognize the hdd as a medium to write a boot record.
Then I skipped it and rebooted after successful install into Expert mode
installation from CD, Automatic writing of Lilo worked now I guess, in the
Summary of settings I choose Grub ... worked for the next reboot.
Then I changed again back to Lilo with MCC, worked as well but Lilo isn't shown
in the information line on top of the MCC bootmanager part: You use "" as
bootmanager at the moment! shows up.
I guess this is a minor problem that cannot happen on each PC.
Cheers!
STIBS
