I don't understand the comment from Jeroen Roovers. I am not a LILO developer, I am not able to find the bug. This is a bug tracker. If you can't find a bug, then use our forums, IRC channels and/or mailing lists to find out why things are not working. Then maybe return here to file a bug report when that has happened. |
I have a system configured to mount an initrd and run some commands from the initrd. When the system boots, the commands are not run. I cannot tell whether or not the initrd was mounted or not. This worked perfectly at lilo version 22.8r2, but fails at version 23 and 24. Simply swapping the lilo binary between 22.8r2 and 24 then re-running lilo turns the problem off and on. I can replicate this very easily. lilo.conf: boot=/dev/sda map=/boot/map prompt timeout=50 default=aro lba32 compact image=/boot/kernel-3.16.1-aufs-alix label=aro append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8 rootfstype=ext4" read-only initrd=/boot/initramfs.cpio.gz root=/dev/sda1
