Description Peter D 2011-04-17 08:33:34 CEST

Description of problem:

After an "urpmi --auto-select" a new kernel was installed and the system rebooted the old kernel was still in use.  After running "lilo -v" and rebooting that changed.  

The system might be confused because grub is installed on the root partition and lilo is installed on the mbr.  (My test machine has a complicated multi-installation arrangement and I want both lilo and grub.)  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Mageia 1 Beta 1

How reproducible:

I think that it has happed twice out of two kernel upgrades.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  install lilo
2.  upgrade the kenel
3.  reboot


Reproducible:

This one is probably my fault, lilo.conf was invalid and I didn't notice any error messages.

This report can be closed?

Comment 3 Peter D 2011-05-13 09:19:13 CEST

Yes I think that this can be closed.  The most recent kernel upgrade did run lilo.  I guess that it was all my fault in the first place.  8-(
