[gentoo-amd64] LILO?

[Mark Haney]

Why is LILO suddenly showing up in my world upgrade list as a new 
install when I already have grub? Has anyone else seen this?  What is 
causing it?

No go.  This is what I get:

octavian ~ # equery depends sys-boot/lilo
[ Searching for packages depending on sys-boot/lilo... ]
octavian ~ #

Try something useful then: emerge -ptuvDN world and check what pulls
lilo in

I had something like that at some point in the not too distant past. I
did an emerge -C or such and the LILO neediness went away.

Yeah this is weird. I thought maybe it ws kfloppy and lilo-config 
causing it, but when I did an emerge -upD world after unmerging them 
they showed back up but LILO was gone.  Weird.
