LILO 21.5-1 beta, LILO 21.4.32

["Colin R. R. Johnson" <cjohnson@candjsolutions.com>]

Hi,

I just upgraded to woody (apt-get dist-upgrade) which worked extremely
well except for lilo.

The lilo 21.4.32 package contains lilo 21.5-1 beta.

Further, when I run Lilo (I compiled a 2.4 kernel) I get the following:

LILO version 21.5-1 beta, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger
'lba32' extensions Copyright (C) 1999,2999 John Coffman

Reading boot sector from /dev/hda
Merging with /boot/cboot.b
Fatal: First boot sector is version 20.0. Expecting version 21.5.

I downloaded the potato package and it has the same lilo version I then
downloaded the source for the package and compiled it.

The source package has version 21.4.32, and I compiled that and with
that version of LILO get:
Fatal: First boot sector is version 20.0. Expecting version 21.4

>From what I can tell the problem is with the cboot.b file.

I've looked in the LILO documentation and can't figure out how to
resolve this problem.

I suspect it's something obvious and that I'm going to feel like hitting
myself when I find the solution.

Thanks,
Colin Johnson
