--- Begin Message ---Package: lilo Version: 1:22.6.1-7+b1 Severity: grave Justification: breaks all kernel upgrades On upgrade, I find that running lilo gives me this: Fatal: '/dev/sdb' is not a whole disk device If I remove the "disk=/dev/sdb inaccessible" line from my lilo.conf and rerun lilo, I instead get: Cannot proceed maybe you need to add this to your lilo.conf: disk=/dev/sdb inaccessible (real error shown below) Fatal: open /dev/sdb: No such file or directory This makes it impossible to run lilo. Thus making it impossible to safely upgrade the kernel. Therefore "grave" severity. ---- Eventually I managed a workaround by running "lilo -P ignore", or adding the ignore-table global option to lilo.conf. However, this is not a reasonable workaround. I don't want to ignore the partition table check. I'm installing the boot sector on *hda*, which is also where the root partition is located and also where the kernel and initrd are located. Lilo has no business even *looking* at sdb, but it should be checking the partition table on hda. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages lilo depends on: ii debconf 1.5.2 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdevmapper1.02 2:1.02.07-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use lilo recommends no packages. -- debconf information: lilo/bad_bitmap: lilo/upgrade: lilo/link1: lilo/runme: = false * lilo/new-config: lilo/link2:
