3 _Description: LILO configuration
4 It seems to be your first LILO installation. It is absolutely necessary to
5 run liloconfig(8) when you complete this process and execute /sbin/lilo
8 LILO won't work if you don't do this.
10 Template: lilo/upgrade
12 _Description: Deprecated parameters in LILO configuration
13 Deprecated files have been found on your system.
14 You must update the 'install=' parameter in your LILO configuration file
15 (/etc/lilo.conf) in order to properly upgrade the package.
17 The new 'install=' options are:
20 old: install=/boot/boot-bmp.b
23 old: install=/boot/boot-text.b
26 old: install=/boot/boot-menu.b or boot.b
28 Template: lilo/add_large_memory
31 _Description: Do you want to add the large-memory option?
32 By default, LILO loads the initrd file into the first 15MB of memory
33 to avoid a BIOS limitation with older systems (earlier than 2001).
35 However, with newer kernels the combination of kernel and initrd
36 may not fit into the first 15MB of memory and so the system will not
37 boot properly. It seems that the boot issues appear when the
38 kernel+initrd combination is larger than 8MB.
40 If this machine has a recent BIOS without the 15MB limitation, you can
41 add the 'large-memory' option to /etc/lilo.conf to instruct LILO to use
42 more memory for passing the initrd to the kernel. You will need to
43 re-run the 'lilo' command to make this option take effect.
45 If this machine has an older BIOS, you may need to reduce the size of
46 the initrd *before* rebooting. Please see the README.Debian file for
47 tips on how to do that.
52 _Description: Do you want to run /sbin/lilo now?
53 It was detected that it's necessary to run /sbin/lilo in order to update
54 the new LILO configuration.
56 WARNING: This procedure will write data in your MBR and may overwrite
57 some things in that place. If you skip this step, you must run /sbin/lilo
58 before reboot your computer or your system may not boot again.
60 Template: lilo/bad_bitmap
62 _Description: Invalid bitmap path
63 A deprecated bitmap path entry has been discovered in your LILO configuration
64 file (/etc/lilo.conf). You must upgrade this path in order to run LILO. You
65 can also run liloconfig(8) and get a fresh configuration file.

71 Template: liloconfig/banner
73 _Description: LILO, the LInux LOader, sets up your system to boot Linux directly from your hard disk, without the need for a boot floppy.
75 Template: liloconfig/configuring_base
77 _Description: Hmm. I think you're configuring the base filesystem, and I'm therefore simply going to exit successfully without trying to actually configure LILO properly. If you're not doing that, this is an important bug against Debian's lilo package, and should be reported as such...
79 Template: liloconfig/liloconf_exists
81 _Description: You already have a LILO configuration in the file ${liloconf}. If you want to use the new LILO boot menu, please take a look to /usr/share/doc/lilo/examples/conf.sample and choose one of the bitmaps located on /boot.
83 Template: liloconfig/liloconf_incompatible
85 _Description: WARNING!
86 You have an old incompatible lilo configuration file!
87 Read the file /usr/share/doc/lilo/INCOMPAT.gz and rerun /sbin/lilo to write the
88 changes to your boot sectors

95 Template: liloconfig/lilo_warning
97 _Description: WARNING!
98 Even if lilo runs successfully, see /usr/share/doc/lilo/INCOMPAT.gz for
99 changes in the usage of the ${liloconf} file. If needed: edit ${liloconf} and
100 rerun '/sbin/lilo -v'

122 Template: liloconfig/fstab_broken
124 _Description: WARNING!
125 Either your ${fstab} configuration file is missing, or it doesn't contain a
126 valid entry for the root filesystem! This generally means that your system is
127 very badly broken. Configuration of LILO will be aborted; you should try to
128 repair the situation and then run /usr/sbin/liloconfig again to retry the
129 configuration process.
131 Template: liloconfig/odd_fstab
133 _Description: WARNING!
134 Your ${fstab} configuration file gives device ${device} as the root filesystem
135 device. This doesn't look to me like an "ordinary" block device. Either your
136 fstab is broken and you should fix it, or you are using hardware (such as a
137 RAID array) which this simple configuration program does not handle.
139 You should either repair the situation or hand-roll your own ${liloconf}
140 configuration file; you can then run /usr/sbin/liloconfig again to retry the
141 configuration process. Documentation for LILO can be found in
142 /usr/share/doc/lilo/.
144 Template: liloconfig/instruction
146 _Description: Booting from hard disk.
147 You must do three things to make the Linux system boot from the hard disk.
148 Install a partition boot record, install a master boot record, and set the
149 partition active. You'll be asked to perform each of these tasks. You may skip
150 any or all of them, and perform them manually later on.
152 This will result in Linux being booted by default from the hard disk. If your
153 setup is complicated or unusual you should consider writing your own
154 customised ${liloconf}. To do this you should exit this configuration program
155 and refer to the comprehensive lilo documentation, which can be found in
156 /usr/share/doc/lilo/.

168 Template: liloconfig/install_mbr
171 _Description: Install a master boot record on ${disk}?
172 A master boot record is required to run the partition boot record. If you are
173 already using a boot manager, and want to keep it, answer "no" to the
174 following question. If you don't know what a boot manager is or whether you
175 have one, answer "yes".
177 Template: liloconfig/mbr_error
180 install-mbr failed! Your system may not be bootable.
182 Template: liloconfig/make_active_partition
185 _Description: Make ${device} the active partition
186 The master boot record will boot the active partition. If you want your system
187 to boot another operating system, such as DOS or Windows, by default, answer
188 "no" to the following question. You may still use your boot manager or the
189 master boot record to boot Linux. If you want the system to boot Linux by
190 default, answer "yes". In this case you could still boot some other OS if you
191 know what partition it is on.
193 Template: liloconfig/activate_error
196 activate failed! Your system may not be bootable.
