Package: lilo Version: 22.6.1-7.1 Severity: important I found that the «root=» parameter used by lilo was wrong: in may case it had to be fd01 while it was fd00. I traced the problem until I found that my root file system is mapped in two different ways to major/minor codes:
sh-3.1$ sudo ls -l /dev/.static/dev/mapper/mirrorvg-newrootlv /dev/mapper/mirrorvg-newrootlv brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 1 2006-11-16 19:29 /dev/mapper/mirrorvg-newrootlv brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 0 2006-10-11 18:01 /dev/.static/dev/mapper/mirrorvg-newrootlv sh-3.1$ I am not sure about what package creates all nodes in /dev/.static/dev/mapper/, but I think it is lilo. Bye, Giuseppe
