lilo is ultra-ancient. I don't even know if it works with modern kernels.

Grub is definitely a huge pain in the ass. It gets an F on usabilityfrom me. I was struggling with it just yesterday while doing a bcache setup.

You didn't say what you were dual booting with. The other OS makes adifference.


GPT or MBR partition type?

Are you using a particular HOWTO/doc on your setup?

More info plz.

I'm setting up a dual boot, and installing deb Jessie first. Iinstalled it before, no problem. Now, grub won't install :( it justtells me it's a fatal error and refuses to install. Will lilo work fora dual boot? I've got no idea why it wouldn't work this time
