Re: cannot unhide vfat after upgrade to testing
Hi there,
I had the same problem a while ago.
Apparently, this was caused by a feature introduced in
lilo 21.6 (or so). Still haven't found out what feature, though.
Anyway, the solution that worked for me is to include the
following lines in /etc/lilo.conf:
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
reset
Hope it helps.
