I can think of single reason for usage, but that is VMware > ESX-server (and that does come with lilo and is ia32). Well, the only reason to use lilo instead of grub is that lilo allows to define different fallback kernels in case you get a kernel panic. You can do this by adding 'fallback=<label>' to each section. We have had problems with some Enterprise kernels, and the fallback saved us several times a 400km trip (or at least an amount of money to get someone to look at our system and choose another kernel). -- dag wieers, [email protected], http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
