After much upgrading came the question, "Do you want slackpkg to run lilo
now? (Y/n)" I said "Y" and it said,
Fatal. Cannot open /etc.lilo.conf
I see that there is a lilo.conf.example, but no lilo.conf, so I guess there
was another skipped step.
Dick,
You should have /etc/lilo.conf, and the upgrade also included the kernel
so you need to build a new initial ram disk (mkinitrd); instructions in
/boot/README.initrd.
Next the upgrade-all continued by looking for NEW configuration files. I'm
assuming that, since this is a mostly new installation, I should chose O
to overwrite old files with new ones. Did so and the upgrade-all process
finished.
Then the kernel must have found /etc/lilo.conf
Should I make a copy of lilo.conf.example and name it lilo.conf and then
run lilo?
Check that the configuration file exists; if it's not there the system
won't boot.
