Package: lilo
Version: 22.6.1-9
Debian version: etch


 I'm getting an error when executing "lilo" with 2.6.18-3-686 kernel.
The Master Boot Record is not updated and I get the following error:

Fatal: geo_query_dev HDIO_GETGEO (dev 0x6800): No such device or address

 If I return to 2.6.17, lilo works fine with the same lilo.conf file.

 I'm not sure if it's a kernel problem or a lilo problem ... :-?

Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-9

I could reproduce w/ 2.6.17-7 and 2.6.18-8 but not with
2.6.18.dfsg.1-10. I'm pretty sure that this was fixed by one of the
cciss backports i did in -9 (though I didn't test it explicitly), so
marking as closed in that version.
