GRUB is much more flexible, and - if you read up a lot - it's easy. I'd not say a word to you 2 years ago, because I was just that conservative and trusted lilo. Seems, the only hurdle was prejudice and wrong mindset about GRUB. Since then, I use GRUB exclusively. So, maybe you should give it a shot one more time.

Hi Edwin, I am sending you a quotation from a very good member of the open source community - I do not want to detract from your question, at all, but some of Marty's suggestions are good value for money. I quote my friend Marty Connor "You need to do a better job asking for help. You provide very little in the way of information, and then you literally beg for help. If you are having trouble with a project, then at least demonstrate that you have read (or attempted to read) the documentation. There is also a mailing list for help specifically with that software, if you can't figure out the documentation or examples. Also, in debugging, you should attempt to create simple test cases, and when they fail, send input, output, and what you thought should happen to the appropriate list for analysis. Otherwise, all we can do is guess what might be happening. I want to encourage you to proceed, but I also want to strongly suggest that if you want help, you need to show that the time of the people trying to help you is not wasted. You can do this by showing that progress you have made, by producing output, and explaining in more detail what you did. If your English skills are a problem, please find a friend who has better skills, and have them help you, in exchange for help with something they need help with. I hope you succeed, but even more I hope that in this process you develop better debugging skills, and improve your methods of asking for help." Marty said it all. I think his advice is really good, and if you really want help, follow the above steps.

I have had it set up on a couple of different systems and I think one customer still has it, and configuration isn't the problem, while I think it's totally stupid to invent a new naming scheme where a common one already exists I don't have a problem adapting to it, but my issues have been with reliability. > I'd not say a word to you 2 years ago, because I was just that > conservative and trusted lilo. Seems, the only hurdle was prejudice > and wrong mindset about GRUB. Since then, I use GRUB exclusively. I've tried it, so strike prejudice, but wrong mindset I'll admit to. :) The problem I had with reliability came from the fact that GRUB stage 1 loads stage 1.5 from fs, and if that fs got corrupted no OS could be booted at all. I had to replace GRUB with MBR from DOS6 over the phone with one person. > So, maybe you should give it a shot one more time. Some time, I surely will. //Peter ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 16:29:07 -0400 (EDT) From: Adam Sulmicki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LinuxBIOS] Using lilo To: Richard Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: LinuxBIOS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed >>> How do I use LILO to boot windows 2k? >> >> The usual way is to use either NTLDR or grub.

Adam? looking at : http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix03/tech/freenix03/agnew/agnew_html/ seems it was grub, but it mentions lilo would work too. ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 15:50:13 -0500 From: Richard Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LinuxBIOS] Using lilo To: Adam Sulmicki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: LinuxBIOS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > looking at : > > http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix03/tech/freenix03/agnew/agnew_html/ > > seems it was grub, but it mentions lilo would work too. Ah.. Ok. I've got my wires crossed then. Thinking on it a bit more I believe its tinybios for the STPC that has the issue with grub. -- Richard A.
