I'm handling a linux boot loader reinstall problem. I'm trying to reinstall lilo using knoppix 5.2 (if you have a better idea, i'll give a try) and after configuring /etc/lilo.conf as:

lba32
boot=/dev/hdc
map=/boot/system.map
install=/boot/boot.b
pronpt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.19.5
label=Linux
root=/dev/hdc1
read-only

I run from console as root the reinstall command for lilo as:

su -
/sbin/lilo

and receive this error:
FATAL: Trying to map files from unnamed device 0x0010 (NFS/Raid mirror down?)

What I'm missing? If you recommand another tool as live cd...spell it..
Thanks for help.

Its been a while since I used lilo, but no * means no hard drives are bootable. Yes, if you want to install lilo to the boot partition of a hard drive, you will have to mount that drive and chroot.
