Hi all,
I compiled the kernel today and when i tried to run lilo i got this error
message:
Fatal: boot.b no such file or directory.
I may have deleted this file by accident from /boot.
is there is a way i can recreate this file ?
what is the way out ?

note: i am running redhat 7.0

thanx

hi, i just ran into this myself
if boot.b is deleted, re-install lilo
in other words, get the rpm off the cd and type rpm -Uvh lilo* --force

re-config your /etc/lilo.conf
run /sbin/lilo -t -v to verify that you lilo script is good
if it is, run /sbin/lilo -v

boot.b is the lilo boot sector

i hope this helps

The normal location for LILO second stage loader is /boot/boot.b.

If it is lost, LILO needs to be reloaded from the setup CD.
