lilo problems (Re: boot floppies 2.2.7 available for testing)
Same box as before (netfinity 5500 m10).
After reboot, lilo reports LIL. I selected yes to the install mbr on
/dev/sda via lilo. No errors were shown. Checked the lilo.conf after
reboot with a rescue floppy to find the line "image=vmlinuz". This needs
to be "image=/vmlinuz". I'm pretty sure this was the error (caused lilo
to exit with an error), but I haven't had a chance to reboot the box. I
believe the LIL came from the last linux install.
