Re: Release upgrade from Woody to Sarge failed reboot lilo problem
This topic may be a few days old, but this is apparently exactly what
happened to a server I admin remotely. When I upgraded to the new
stable packages, I saw nothing that affected the kernel, therefore
rerunning LILO didn't occur to me as something that needed to be done.
Hopefully someone reported a bug report on this against LILO since
Monday. Since no changes to the kernel should have affected LILO's boot
configuration, it should have had no trouble booting up.
Why do I have LILO running in the first place? When I installed from
the Woody CD a year ago, that's all that was offered to me. I wasn't
aware, at the time, of the problems known to occur with LILO and so
didn't install grub. Now that I live a couple hundred miles from this
machine, but continue to admin it, I wouldn't dare attempt to install a
new boot loader unless I was physically present.
