I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you talking about serial or concurrent invocations? If serial, there's no problem. Lilo can be run serially any number of times without problems. If parallel, are we talking about somebody hacking past the RPM transaction lock, or somebody installing a kernel on one VT while merrily running /sbin/lilo on another terminal to pass the time? One always runs Lilo after adding or removing a kernel. Grubby looks like it's supposed to do it but it hasn't been particularly reliable. --Mike Bird
