X-debbugs-cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Package: lilo Version: 1:22.6.1-7.1 Severity: normal
To make running lilo, or booting, work fine without bothering about what flash cards I have plugged into USB today, I was told to use disk=/dev/sda inaccessible disk=/dev/sdb inaccessible disk=/dev/sdc inaccessible disk=/dev/sdd inaccessible disk=/dev/sde inaccessible disk=/dev/sdf inaccessible which worked fine until nowadays, where I get Fatal: stat /dev/sde: No such file or directory meaning one now has to tailor one's lilo.conf to the exact number of those irrelevant flash cards plugged in at the moment! And what good is stat'ing an inaccessible device going to do you anyway? This didn't use to happen. P.S., the mtimes of the files in /usr/share/doc/lilo seem to not all reflect the last change of their contents. Use cp --preserve=timestamps. I was messing with lilo trying to fix the two minute wait in the boot sequence after the message sd 0:0:0:3: Attached scsi removable disk sdd which occurs if I have a "Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor" attached at boot. Why doesn't lilo have a command "keep nose out of usb at boot totally" ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
