Actually lilo is not to blame for this...

It's a kernel reiserfs bug :-(

I verified this by installing lilo from MDK 9.1 ... same problem...
Then I tested my 2.4.22-0.5.2tmb_mdk ... same problem...

Going back to 2.4.21-6.5tmbsecure ...  everyhing works...
So we have picked up a reiserfs bug between 2.4.21-6mdk 
and 2.4.22-0.5mdk... :-(

Seems I have my weekend planned now... this is _bad_

Juan,
are you able to replicate this?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] thomas]$ mount
/dev/sda7 on / type reiserfs (rw,notail)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620)
/dev/sdb7 on /var type reiserfs (rw,notail)
/dev/md0 on /home type reiserfs (rw,notail)
/dev/md1 on /var/spool/squid type reiserfs (rw,notail)
/dev/hda1 on /Data/Disk1 type xfs (rw)
/dev/hdc1 on /Data/Disk2 type xfs (rw)


BTW, is there anyone having an 2.4.22-0.1mdksecure rpm?
I want to check if this bug came when we switched to pre10,
or when we switched to rc2 ...


Thomas
