Subject: [gentoo-user] AMD64 & lilo...
Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2006 09:21:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44001385.30104@gmx.net> (raw)

Hi all,
does anybody use lilo with amd64? I'm right at installing bootloader,
and to my big surprise I found this statement in handbook:
"While LILO does work on AMD64, Gentoo only supports using GRUB"

I always used lilo, because I find grub syntax a little "strange",
moreover I do not know how grub handles raid (I'm just reading grub
manual on gnu-site, not a single word about raid), but now I'm not
sure what to do: does lilo work with amd64, or not?

How should I translate this lilo.conf into grub.conf:
-----------------------------------------
password = ""
restricted
delay=5
boot = /dev/md0
prompt
timeout = 30
default = gentoo

image = /boot/kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r1
	label = gentoo
	read-only
	root = /dev/md1

image = /boot/kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r5
	label = gentoo.old
	read-only
	root = /dev/md1
-----------------------------------------
