Hmmm, you should have given us this info before ... since you can't use
both isolinux and lilo (they are both bootloaders, isolinux is for
booting from CDs), I assume you are bootstrapping your install from
lilo? If so, you need to provide the parameters isolinux would normally
provide to the kernel (look in the syslinux.cfg) via the append line of
your lilo.conf, or you need to provide them on the lilo command line.
So, at the lilo prompt, you can type:
lilo: cooker expert
(assuming "cooker" is the name of your installation image, and "lilo: "
is the lilo prompt.

For more information on this, see the drakx-autoinstall-doc

Of course, it may be worthwhile documenting this stuff in the
CookerHowTo on the wiki.
