Package: lilo
Version: 24.2-2
I just partitioned a new hard-drive with fdisk and then lilo complains:
Warning: Device 0x0810: Inconsistent partition table, 1st entry
CHS address in PT: 0:32:33 --> LBA (608)
LBA address in PT: 2048 --> CHS (0:113:15)
Fatal: Either FIX-TABLE or IGNORE-TABLE must be specified
If not sure, first try IGNORE-TABLE (-P ignore)
Unfortunately lilo is being run by "update-initramfs" and there is no way
to give the -P ignore option. I don't think that fdisk is to blame.
fdisk doesn't use the CHS (Clylinder, Head, Sector) notation anymore but
uses lba addressing. So either have -P ignore by default in lilo or
change fdisk so that it creates the obsolete CHS format on the disk.
