I've got a 2.4.19 kernel, and have been trying to use lilo-21.4. When booted from a kernel on floppy disk, the Disk on Chip was recognized; I could fdisk, mke2fs, mount, etc., all normally. LILO would not work, however. I tried the M-Systems lilo with no success (though I have used their lilo successfully with a 2.2.12 kernel and disk on chip). A colleague had apparently used lilo-22.1 successfully. I tried it, and it works. It's available as an rpm (you'll need gfxboot.rpm, also). You'll find these rpms through 'rpm.bone.net'. Search for 'lilo-22*i386' with 'SuSE other' checked. Use the new boot.b and chain.b. There have been a number of posts on this list regarding the use of lilo with the MTD drivers; I thought some of you might be intereseted. Best regards, Bob Wirka
