Possitive here. Just try to change to new kernel image. I was forced to
install grub after upgrading to 2.4.10.

Lilo is fine, back down to the kernel image prior to your current one,
run lilo with your new image, then boot into the new image.

Lilo can now be run just fine.

Something in the pre10 series hosed something which caused the first
instance of lilo to segfault then the next to deadlock waiting on a
page. 2.4.10 proper fixed that. In my case I reverted to 2.4.7-pre6,
ran lilo, then booted into 2.4.10 and ran lilo. Worked like a charm.
('course I had a boot disk at the ready)

Although its not a bad idea to switch to GRUB in any event. I've
found it to be far superior in terms of userfriendliness and power.

If this is the case, I'd call that a feature. ; >

I hate it too now. I even booted from image I deleted. God knows what would
happen if I did not noticed it early :))
