The biggest problem I have with it, is the error reporting is
awful and you don't get any clue to what caused the problem.
As opposed to LILO's error reporting consisting of "LI" during bootup?
Its suprising how many ppl have NFI that halting at various points in
print statemant of LILO actually has a useful meaning telling them
where the problem is.
L error
physical hd error ?
LI
some lilo parts are not found -> bootdisk, check lilo.conf, lilo, reboot ?
LIL
lilo-map error ?
LIL?
wrong boot device ?
LIL-
wrong geometry ?
LILO
ok
my lilo experiences <= rhl7.2, playing russian roulette
my grub experiences since >= rhl7.3 absolutely no problems
