First of all I'd like to thank michaelkjohnson for heading off install
problems with my adaptec 1542. I got my CDROM yesterday and the install
(upgrade) went great except for LILO not being installed.
I've been running RedHat on a scsi drive and have a small Slackware
version of linux on /dev/hda5. Normally in booting my system I use the
OS/2 boot manager to boot either DOS, OS/2 or Linux (/dev/hda5).
If I select the Slackware partition LILO runs and I can select either
Slackware (used for emergency repair) or RedHat (/dev/sda1).
I've been putting the latest kernels on the /hda5 partition, editing
lilo.conf and running lilo from the Slackware distribution. This
has been working great.
Now I've noticed that the new RedHat distribution places the kernel under
/boot and probably uses a different version of lilo. Does anyone see any
problems with copying the kernel from /boot of the RedHat distribution
over to / of the Slackware distribution and rerunning lilo under Slackware.
Any comments or suggestions?
Regards,
Terry
