Summary: Install hung after chgd Lilo /dev/hda to /dev/hda1
Product: Installation
Version: 1.847
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The install process hung after I tried to change the default Lilo being placed
in /dev/hda to using /dev/hda1. On reboot, I got L 9A 9A... and had to use to
Dos boot floppy with "fdisk /mbr" to clear out /dev/hda. After that, booting
took place, but had a few issues (certainly because the install process hadn't
quite finished before). I performed a new, clean install, again without
changing Lilo from /dev/hda default and everything went fine.
Lilo is culprit (see my other Drakboot bug #6046), but since that is probably a
larger problem to correct (its been an issue for a long time, I believe), the
9.2 Install process should be changed to warn/disallow user from changing Lilo
during install. Or, better, change the install back to 9.0 style, where, I
believe, advanced users were given a choice of where to put Lilo - BEFORE the
install called Lilo behind the scenes.
