Hail to the list:
Running sid, trying to copy my system over to a different HDD, following the
Hard-Disk-Upgrade mini-HOWTO. Moving to an IBM 13GB Ide Drive.
I followed the instructions for editing /new-disk/etc/lilo.conf.
Ran "lilo -C/new-disk/etc/lilo.conf"
This message was received:

I have set the lba flag on this drive using parted, and
/new-disk/etc/lilo.conf also has an "lba32" entry.
I preformed this same procedure some years ago, and all worked fine.
Is there something new in lilo that isn't reflected in the
mini-HOWTO?
Any suggestions are welcome.
