Grub-based distros install fine on said VPS.

Are you using virtio disks? It's probably that extboot doesn't implement enough int13 functions for LILO.

If you have the option, switching to an IDE disk may be a work around.

Hi guys,

Thanks for responding.

I was wondering if there is a LILO-based workaround (perhaps
something I can put in lilo.conf itself) to avoid having that
error show up?

I will try to ask our VPS hoster for the info above but the
hosting company may be leery of modifying their KVM setup
(immediately) just to accommodate my specific situation and we
need to get this LILO-based distro up and running in the
short-term.


Thanks,
Andy
