I have changed lilo.conf, but the new config does not show in my LILO boot menu.
Here is the output of lilo -v -t. It shows the newly added kernel "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386", but this does not appear at boot time. I boot from hda, so the error about hdc should not be of importance, or does this error prevent LILO from actually writing the boot sector?
I hope somebody knows what is going on.
