I'm having some probs with lilo:
# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.4_cobalamin.1.0_i386.deb # install of a custom kernel
===================================
{SNIP}
You already have a LILO configuration in /etc/lilo.conf
Install a boot block using the existing /etc/lilo.conf? [Yes] yes
Testing lilo.conf ...
An error occurred while running lilo in test mode, a log is
available in /var/log/lilo_log.15223. Please edit /etc/lilo.conf
manually and re-run lilo, or make other arrangements to boot
your machine.
Please hit return to continue

After searching the web I found this:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2003-07/0122.html
and this:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200312/msg06152.html
Both touch on the subject... neither really clarify it for me.
I'm running testing (sarge) on a Toshiba A20... and trying to install
a build of the 2.6.4 kernel.
-----
I mucked around with the 'devfs' option in menuconfig--compiled with &
compiled without.
I don't understand why it doesn't work. I've compiled and installed
a couple of 2.6 series kernels on a Debian 'Sid' system in the past
without any problems.
QUESTIONS:
Does lilo (in the testing distribution) require (the obsolete) devfs?
Do I need to #apt-get install devfsd ???
Any help would be much appreciated...
