I just did an apt-get install of lilo on a debian potato system, and apt-get
source lilo showed that they have a 21.4.3 version with your patch
http://www.elliott-turbo.com/lilo/lilo-21.4.3.also
already applied, and yet:
stan:/tmp/lilo-21.4.3# ./lilo -v
LILO version 21.5-1 beta, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger

boot = /dev/sda, map = /boot/map.0801
Reading boot sector from /dev/sda
Merging with /boot/boot.b
Boot image: /vmlinuz
Added linux *
Boot image: /vmlinuz.old
Added linuxold
Boot image: /vmlinuz-2.0
Added linux2.0
Boot image: /safe/vmlinuz
Fatal: Sorry, don't know how to handle device 0x0901
Here's my lilo.conf again:
boot=/dev/md0
root=/dev/md0
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=6
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/vmlinuz
label=linux
read-only
image=/vmlinuz.old
label=linuxold
read-only
image=/vmlinuz-2.0
label=linux2.0
read-only
image=/safe/vmlinuz
label=linuxsafe
read-only
root=/dev/md1
image=/safe/vmlinuz.old
label=linuxsafeold
read-only
root=/dev/md1
What can I do on my side to give you more info on how and where it fails
(strace output didn't seem very useful)?
