I see from the archives that there have been problems with LILO and Woody. Have they been resolved?
I took my (text only) 2.2r3 + 2.4.5 upgrade system which worked quite happily and tried to upgrade to Woody. Using dselect failed (template parse errors) but using apt-get upgrade and then apt-get dist-upgrade seemed to work, BUT when I came to reboot it is as though the boot sector has been trashed. I can boot from floppy and the disk is fine in all other respects. There are no error messages if I simply run lilo but if I run lilo -v it does mention that /boot/boot.300 already exists, so no backup copy made. I think that LILO was upgraded as part of the woody upgrade, but I am not sure (is there a log kept somewhere?). LILO reports itself as being 21.7-5 built on 16th July at 15:55:37, which is very close to the time that boot-compat.b, boot-menu.b and boot-text.b were created, but I can not remember if they existed before the upgrade. boot.b is symlinked to boot-menu.b. Any ideas?
