I now lilo is old but I like it :-) Until voyage-0.8 there was no problem.
It seems that voyage kernel does not have anymore ext3 built in which in my
opinion is bad because it's the only which could be missing to mount
root since 0.6 or so
but this it not the actual problem I have...

Hi Beat,
uuh, lilo, it's about 10 years or so I had used it.
As far as I can remember you have to actualize the list of blocks where
the kernel resides (every time you have tinkered with the kernel). May
be a simple "lilo -v" does this, but you should have a look inside
lilo's manpage.
Why can't you use grub ?
Regarding initrd, if you have a kernel where all device drivers and
other kernel modules mandatory for booting are statically linked in (not
modules !), you do not need a initrd.
cheers, John

Hello
Voyage 0.8.5 lilo installation does not work anymore.
Just installed new installation not upgrade of voyage-0.8.5 on alix
plattform.
Problem is kernel labeling with space does not work with lilo only
with grub.
But even with correcting this root is not found.
Error is:

What's the problem?
How can I use lilo with voyage 0.8.5?
BTW: How can I use only kernel without initrd on wrap/alix? Is this
not anymore possible without initrd?
Thanks
Beat
