That's right and the initrd version to suit. If you install lilo via
M9.0 cd1 ,
I'm pretty sure it will splay the kernel and intrd version available to you
in the /boot partition.It certainly does in the mandrake installer version
of lilo install, though you will need to sellect from a drop down list
on each
entry item.

I installed from my Powerpack CD1. I'm not sure what you mean here - are you suggesting that I should run the CD1 lilo installer?

Anne



Only in as much as if you are trying to boot on those lilo stanzas I doubt that you
are on desktop on either OS. where you can mere use a text editor, and running
/sbin/lilo will suffice, So,

Boot from CD1,at the first splash screen hit, F1
At the prompt, type, rescue

From menu select replace LILO, <enter>

That should allow you to remake lilo , I've only had to do this once so
I cannot quite remember how the procedure went , but if my memory
serves me well there is a dropdown list for each entry that needs correction.
I guess the programme merely reads what ever there is to find in /boot partition
and asks you to choose.If not then it's a text editor job and it would be best
to write down the entries you think you want to make, because it's easy to forget
something.
