[mythtv-users] KnoppMyth R4 LILO fails on a 2 HDD system

[Maurits van Dueren]

Whoops:

And of course, after you changed the /etc/lilo.conf, you need to rebuild 
lilo; add that last command to the list:

CTRL-ALT-F2
# mount /dev/hda1  /mnt/hda1
# chroot /mnt/hda1
# cp /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf.old
# vi /etc/lilo.conf
# lilo

Sorry
