Entirely or partly? If I understand that bugreport correctly, the bugreporter had LILO installed but did not use it: > I reboot the system and surprise: grub was *overwritten* by lilo!!! and later > Why was grub overwritten by lilo? Will running "grub-install (hd0,0)" > fix the problem? I agree with Martin[1] that parts of the bugreport is a known LILO bug, but also agree with him that more than that is going on. Original bugreporter is satisfied that his system works - but please note that in addition to fixing that known bug, the LILO package is also removed. Harrasing LILO users by silencing bugreports about problems[2] using it is the wrong approach. If LILO is officially unsupported by Debian (not only by kernel team and/or initramfs-tools maintainer) we should drop that package from the archive! - Jonas [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494422#10 [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=361270 - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAki1WaUACgkQn7DbMsAkQLhSEQCfbh/XsdChs7PtMxLa3drF7RFW 7pcAn04i1fGfM88lfR7i5kD0uVTxOb0v =RzyB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
