A while back I built LFS 2.4.4 and 3.3 and some others and archived the builds. They were i686 builds I used vmware linux 2.2 guests and old slackware hosts to build them. This is what the lilo.conf in 2.4.4 has: # LILO configuration file # generated by 'liloconfig' # # Start LILO global section boot = /dev/hda prompt timeout = 1200 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k vga = 791 # Normal VGA console # vga = normal # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k # vga=791 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k # vga=790 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 # vga=773 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k # vga=788 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k # vga=787 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256 # vga=771 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k # vga=785 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k # vga=784 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256 # vga=769 # End LILO global section # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /boot/linux-2.2.26ext3 root = /dev/hda1 label = LFS-2.4.4 read-only # Linux bootable partition config ends I'd be glad to put the 2.4.4 build up for you somewhere and you can look at it if you like.
