lilo is ultra-ancient. I don't even know if it works with modern kernels.
Grub is definitely a huge pain in the ass. It gets an F on usability from me. I was struggling with it just yesterday while doing a bcache setup.
You didn't say what you were dual booting with. The other OS makes a difference.
GPT or MBR partition type? Are you using a particular HOWTO/doc on your setup? More info plz. On 05/17/2016 06:41 PM, Ralph Sanchez wrote:
I'm setting up a dual boot, and installing deb Jessie first. I installed it before, no problem. Now, grub won't install :( it just tells me it's a fatal error and refuses to install. Will lilo work for a dual boot? I've got no idea why it wouldn't work this time
