Package: lilo Version: 1:22.6.1-9 Severity: grave My system has a somewhat unusual setup: I'm using lvm on RAID1. Sometime recently, lilo just quit working:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo lilo Warning: COMPACT may conflict with LBA32 on some systems device-mapper: table ioctl failed: No such device or address Fatal: device-mapper: dm_task_run(DM_DEVICE_TABLE) failed This happens with all versions of lilo back to 7.1 (which is from before the computer in question existed). Web searches turn up references to old bugs that prevented lilo from working with lvm2 systems. But the disk configuration on this system hasn't changed since I built it and it's always used lilo, so that can't possibly be it. The only thing I can think of is that maybe there's an incompatibility with recent 2.6.18 kernels; I don't have easy access to the console at the moment, though [0].
