Summary: LM9.2rc2 Drakboot chgd Lilo from hda MBR to hda1, reboot
hangs 9A
Product: drakxtools
Version: 9.2-16mdk
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: drakboot
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Using Drakboot, I changed LM9.2rc2 default Lilo in MBR to use /dev/hda1
instead. On rebooting, I got L 9A 9A 9A ... Using Dos floppy, did "fdisk
/mbr" and then reboot went to Lilo and everything was fine. This is really a
Lilo problem, as I believe the same thing happens when changing it manually.
But - a less experienced user, using Drakboot, gets no warning and is then
unable to boot their machine (unless, maybe, they made a boot disk).
Note that I am entering another bug under LM9.2rc2 Install issue because I
first came across this problem by not being given a choice of where to put Lilo
during initial install, and when I went to change the value on the screen where
you can change the earlier choices (printers, network, etc) - my install hung
completely. On reboot, I got L 9A repeating. I verified by re-performing the
install from scratch, not changing the Lilo, rebooted fine, used Drakboot to
change from the default Lilo in /dev/hda MBR to /dev/hda1 and on reboot, was
back to L 9A repeating.
