I agree, how can something like a missing option be a hardware error? It's a hardware detection error and I guess more steps are needed in that hardware detection in order for lilo.conf to be complete.
Maybe there should be three modes for LILO (or bootloader in general) installation: "Novice" mode should rely solely on autodection, "Intermediate" should allow turning some options off or on in a checkbox list (like aforementioned "prompt", "compact", "large-memory" etc) with a short explanation what does each option do, while "Expert" should allow manual editing of lilo.conf that will be deployed. PS: I can't believe this error (re)surfaced after one year and (almost) five months... -- Default /etc/lilo.conf options not optimal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125737 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
