SuSE Linux: Versions since 5.1
any_b.b
or any_d.b
.
You plan to update your former S.u.S.E. Linux version to a 5.1 without changing your former LILO configuration (e.g. LILO configuration within YaST).
Well, you are not able to reinstall LILO using your old
/etc/lilo.conf
.
The installation aborts displaying an error message:
Chain loader is version nnn. Expecting version 20oder
open /boot/any_d.b: No such file or directory
/boot/any_b.b
or /boot/any_d.b
in
LILO 20. The functionality has been integrated into the standard loader
/boot/chain.b
. (/boot/os2_d.b
still exists for
booting OS/2 from the second hard disk).
/boot/chain.b
instead of /boot/any_b.b
or
/boot/any_d.b
.
Caution!
On the contrary to the latter chain.b
does not switch drives
automatically! You have to activate this yourself in
/etc/lilo.conf
. This may be done by entering (e.g.) the following
lines:
map-drive = 0x80 to = 0x81 map-drive = 0x81 to = 0x80Adapt your
/etc/lilo.conf
accordingly. You may do so using either
YaST or an editor.
