Running "make install" runs lilo on my Athlon but not my Pentium II.

Running "make install" runs lilo on my Athlon but not my Pentium II.

[Miles Lane]

Hi,

When I run "make install" on my Pentium II machine, lilo gets
run after vmlinuz is built.  When I do the same thing on my Athlon,
vmlinuz gets built, but lilo does get run.

Here are my architecture options for the Athlon:

CONFIG_X86=y
CONFIG_ISA=y
CONFIG_UID16=y

#
# Code maturity level options
#
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y

#
# Loadable module support
#
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_KMOD=y

#
# Processor type and features
#
CONFIG_MK7=y
CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK=y
CONFIG_X86_INVLPG=y
CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG=y
CONFIG_X86_BSWAP=y
CONFIG_X86_POPAD_OK=y
CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=6
CONFIG_X86_TSC=y
CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y
CONFIG_X86_USE_3DNOW=y
CONFIG_X86_PGE=y
CONFIG_X86_USE_PPRO_CHECKSUM=y
CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_MTRR=y

Have you checked for the existance of a /sbin/installkernel file on either
machine?

Yes.  The script exists on both machines, but I think you have
nailed the problem.  The working machine is running RedHat 6.2 plus
a 2.4.0+ kernel.  The other (the Athlon) is running Mandrake 7.2 plus
a 2.4.0+ kernel.  On the working machine, the installkernel script
is just a shell script.  While, on the problem machine, the script
is a PERL script written by chmouel@mandrakesoft.com.  

So, Chmouel, what gives?  Can you help me debug this?

Thanks Russell,

	Miles

this installkernel script try to detect what kind of bootloader you
have on your machine (since we ship GRUB and LILO), what the output of
:

/usr/sbin/detectloader

give you (under the mdk machine).
