Which of the 82 Grub bugs prevents it from being used for serious work?
1) That basic Bugzilla queries yield 82 Grub bugs versus 15 Lilo bugs is
illustrative of their relative levels of reliability.
agreed, as in similar case a restoration from backups and grub woudlnt
boot, mount in rescue install lilo bingo worked fine since, the argument
has been up on the list before about keeping lilo boot loader and offering
grub as an option for those home users who will never have terrabytes of
disk space, but al lthey do is attack, ever wonder why most other popular
distros have stuck to lilo :)
2) The general flakiness of Grub makes it unusable for serious work.
One simply cannot afford plane tickets (or even trouble tickets) every
time Grub fails. Lilo is much more reliable than Grub. Grub may be
appropriate for a newbie on a home PC, but Grub does not replace Lilo.
every fedora install i do now follows with a
up2date --nox lilo
rpm -e grub
