03/20/04 version of new installer with Lilo?
Hi Debian!
I tried sarge's #1 CD with the new installer, version of 03/20/2004.
With bootparm "linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium" you can select which
bootloader you want, but... selecting "lilo" results in him still
insisting to install grub. For which I filed bug #239494.
When you use the installer w/o bootparm then he installs grub and that
system boots, but I have trouble running base-config with apt-config
using just loopmounted iso's. I will file a bug for that. After I try it
a few more times.
I am hesitant to use grub because then I have to change the other 6
partitions to grub also, in order to be able to select them at boot-time.
Also when I ran lilo on the new system I get a kernel-panic:
Unable to mount root fs on 03:41
making me think that that system should run lilo with initrd, which I
never do with the other systems.
Any thoughts on that? And what exactly does "03:41" mean?
Hugo.
