Kristof Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 (edited) Hi, About a week ago, I installed Mandrake 9.2. The installation went really well (knowing it was my first attempt to install a Linux distribution). During the installation, I chose grub as the bootloader. Yesterday I wanted to try the graphical version of Lilo. Since I am new to Linux and Mandrake, I have absolutely no idea how to do this using the console, so I opened the Mandrake Control Center. I selected Boot options and I clicked the Configure button in the Lilo/grub section. In the drop down box, I chose 'LILO with graphical menu'. I clicked the OK button. The window with the different boot option popped up. I left the settings as they were and clicked OK. Then this error appeared: "Installation of LILO failed. The following error occured: lilo failed: open /vmlinuz: No such file or directory" How can I use Lilo in stead of grub? Thanks in advance and please don't mind my bad English ^_^ Edit: I just did locate vmlinuz and I got these results: /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-10mdk However, my grub settings point to /vmlinuz Should I change this to /boot/vmlinuz for Lilo?

Kristof Posted January 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 I tried to use /boot/vmlinuz in stead of the grub value (/vmlinuz) Lilo seems to work now. How can I change the bootload via the command line interface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 The file /etc/lilo.conf contains the settings. After you make changes, you type in lilo and it processes the file /etc/lilo.conf and updates the bootloader. About as simple as that... take a peek at the file..
