| + | |
| + | ====== lilo bootloader ====== |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | LILO (Linux Loader) is a boot loader for Linux and the default bootloader for non EFI slackware installs. |
| + | |
| + | we need multiple kernels to boot. whether you run stable or -current you want to always have a known working kernel to fall back on. first we will install the kernels of your choice using slackupdr |
| + | |
| + | [[https://wigums.ddns.net/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=slackupdr|slackupdr]] |
| + | |
| + | once your kernels are installed edit lilo.conf |
| + | |
| + | <code>nano /etc/lilo/conf</code> |
| + | |
| + | find the kernel stanza and we will expand it to include the new kernels. we are also going to add boot entries for huge versus generic kernels. find this stanza |
| + | |
| + | <code># Linux bootable partition config begins |
| + | image = /boot/vmlinuz |
| + | root = /dev/sda2 |
| + | label = huge |
| + | read-only</code> |
| + | |
| + | we will add stanzas for the kernels we've installed |
| + | |
| + | here is a default lilo.conf as generated by liloconfig |
| + | |
| + | <code># LILO configuration file |
| + | # generated by 'liloconfig' |
| + | # |
| + | # Start LILO global section |
| + | # Append any additional kernel parameters: |

| + | # This option loads the kernel and initrd much faster: |
| + | compact |

| + | # Location of the option table: location x, location y, number of |
| + | # columns, lines per column (max 15), "spill" (this is how many |
| + | # entries must be in the first column before the next begins to |
| + | # be used. We don't specify it here, as there's just one column. |
| + | bmp-table = 60,6,1,16 |
| + | # Timer location x, timer location y, foreground color, |
| + | # background color, shadow color. |

| + | # Wait until the timeout to boot (if commented out, boot the |
