--- Begin Message ---Package: lilo Version: 24.2-2 I just partitioned a new hard-drive with fdisk and then lilo complains: Warning: Device 0x0810: Inconsistent partition table, 1st entry CHS address in PT: 0:32:33 --> LBA (608) LBA address in PT: 2048 --> CHS (0:113:15) Fatal: Either FIX-TABLE or IGNORE-TABLE must be specified If not sure, first try IGNORE-TABLE (-P ignore) Unfortunately lilo is being run by "update-initramfs" and there is no way to give the -P ignore option. I don't think that fdisk is to blame. fdisk doesn't use the CHS (Clylinder, Head, Sector) notation anymore but uses lba addressing. So either have -P ignore by default in lilo or change fdisk so that it creates the obsolete CHS format on the disk. David Lawyer
