Re: after installing new kernel running lilo crushes system

   Hello,

   This is regarding [39]http://linuxgazette.net/111/tag/2.html.

   Peter Ridder wrote:

     /dev/hda1 contains a file bootsec.lin which is a copy.

     dd if=/dev/hda8 bs=512 count=1 of=/boot/bootsec.lin cp /boot/bootsec.lin
     /mnt/hda1/bootsec.lin=20 [...] and running /sbin/lilo results after a
     restart in: L 99 99 99 etc.

   I think that the missing step is that you are not repeating the "dd" and
   "cp" operations every time you run lilo. After running lilo, you have to
   transfer again the first 512 bytes of /dev/hda8 to the file bootsec.lin in
   /dev/hda.

   If I may digress a little bit, I have to say that it is here where I have
   found the greatest advantage between lilo and grub: this step is not needed
   with grub.

   I hope this helps. Best regards,

   Pedro.

   Phil, 

   I am MOST distressed to hear you are trying to close down linuxgazette.net
   by appropriating their name. The fact that you HOSTED them awhile back
   gives  you NO RIGHT to the name. And in fact you have linuxgazette.com
   already. 

   I  ENJOY  reading BOTH linuxgazette.net, and my subscription to "Linux
   Journal", to which I am a long-time subscriber (and bought the CD of back
   issues). There is room for BOTH of you in this big world. Please lay off
   linuxgazette.net.  I'd  hate to have to drop my subscription to "Linux
   Journal" which I enjoy reading every month. 

   Jim Doutt 

   Jim -

   Thank you very much for your support, and for restating our position with
   regard to SSC's unwarranted attacks. Here at the Linux Gazette, we believe
   that there is indeed room for both - and our actions have consistently
   reflected  that belief. SSC, via their hired guns, have closed off all
   avenues for peaceful coexistence by their threats; we shall simply continue
   to stand firm against their baseless accusations - the law and the public
   sentiment happen to coincide in support of us.

   Your support, and the support of all our readers who have written to us in
   regard to the present situation, serves to underscore and reinforce our
   determination to see this through. Thank you, Jim... thank you, everyone.

     Regards,
     * Ben Okopnik * Editor-in-Chief, Linux Gazette * http://linuxgazette.net *
     
     We received many letters from readers and responded to some directly. I
     believe this exchange was the best summary of how we feel. Thank you,
     gentle readers, thank you all. -- Heather
