Hi,
(sorry if i am wrong here; could in that case someone tell me the
right place to report this?)
I installed 2.6.0-test1 kernel on my acer laptop. Seems to run quite
well (even APM works now), but when I try to rerun LILO (when I
recompiled the kernel), it does not work on 2.6.0-test1 kernel:
---
LILO version 22.2, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger
Development beyond version 21 Copyright (C) 1999-2001 John Coffman
Released 05-Feb-2002 and compiled at 20:57:26 on Apr 13 2002.
MAX_IMAGES = 27
Reading boot sector from /dev/hda2
Merging with /boot/boot-menu.b
Boot image: /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz
Added Linux
[...]
Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4
Added Linux2.4
Boot other: /dev/hda1, on /dev/hda, loader /boot/chain.b
Device 0x0300: Invalid partition table, 1st entry

hda1 is a fat32 partition w/ windows on it.
When I boot 2.4.20, i can rewrite LILO w/o errors.
looking at /proc/ide/hda/geometry reveals on 2.4.20:
---
physical 19485/16/63
logical 1222/255/63
---
on 2.6.0-test1:
---
physical 19485/16/63
logical 19485/16/63
---
/proc/partitions is in both cases:
---
major minor #blocks name
3 0 9820440 hda
3 1 7719201 hda1
3 2 1992028 hda2
3 3 104422 hda3

I think the easiest answer is: get a more recent LILO.
(And make sure to use linear or lba32 or so.)

Thanks. That helped.
>(And make sure to use linear or lba32 or so.)
lba32 was active before as well.
