Hello: I've been away from this list for a while. Happy New Year to everyone!
I've recently compiled a new kernel, 2.4.22, the "Debian way," but when I go to install it, lilo bails out with the error: Fatal: VolumeID read error: sector 0 of /dev/sda not readable I get the same error when I try to 'downgrade' to the previous kernel_image, which had successfully installed before. My lilo.conf makes only a commented reference to /dev/sda, and boot=/dev/hda. I have recently acquired a USB Mass Storage device, which is at /dev/sda1 when mounted, but it's not mounted at the moment. I had successfully recompiled and installed a kernel which recognized the device. (This latest compilation was to add a wireless PCMCIA card; other than that I changed nothing.) My system is 'testing'. I have version 22.5.8 of lilo. A Google attempt turned up nothing except a few problems with people putting the MBR on /dev/sda, which is not my situation.
