Subject: LILO incompatibility with KVM?
Date: Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:03:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A539BED.1080708@neotitans.com> (raw)

I am trying to install Slackware on KVM-based
VPS hosting and keep getting a "LILO keytable read
/ checksum error" upon booting.

Grub-based distros install fine on said VPS.

Apparently certain builds/versions of KVM break
with LILO:

http://support.zenwalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=18894

Since it might not be feasible to ask the outsourced
VPS providers to change their setup, does anyone know
of a workaround that can be implemented on my side
to get LILO to work correctly with these particular
KVM versions?


TIA for any help...
